I'm not usually too much of a "gadget" guy, but I like that brush very much. It would be perfect for my rig, as my grates have castings in the middle which make the grates a bit harder to brush.A very well thought out product.

I'd be interested if I knew I was getting the sword too.

Dr ROK, Thanks for the link Doc! I am now waiting for the $35.00 order to become available! I think they may have something with their Grill Brush!

I'm in on the $35.00 deal, Looks like I'm a sucker for Kickstarter.

[RichBrew]

reminds me of this, and doesn't look all that much different...

Speaking of Kickstart how about you guys that jumped on the wireless thermometer. What the latest story on them?

[David Parrish]

I'm not investing in another KickStarter until Meater makes good on the $200 I gave them.

[Huskee]

Yeah January ship date moved to July is tough to swallow, I hope it's worth the price and the wait.

[DWCowles]

bet it's not ready in July

I will NEVER use a wire bristle brush. NEVER!

I have a good buddy who is an ER Physician and every single summer somebody presents with a wire bristle in the gut. It's expensive and very dangerous.

There are much better alternatives. Try Grill Floss or the replaceable nylon bristle Char Griller.

Why anyone uses a wire bristle brush is beyond me.

[Don Jr]

I agree. CNN just had a story on it last week. They said if you have to use a wire grill brush you have to carefully inspect the grill grates and go over the surfaces with a towel afterwards. I'm going to look into alternatives.

They sold me at "Hanger doubles as a bottle opener". Even if the brush sucks it still has at least some value.

You aren't a regular kickstarter backer are you? Most of the timelines on there are unmeetable. It's inexperienced people at manufacturing that underestimate the delays and supply chain, etc. I've never had one of the 20 plus I've back show up on time. Usually I add in about 6 months to their estimates when deciding UNLESS they have everything done and the KS is to help retire debt.

I've also never had anyone NOT provide the product, although that is certainly a risk. I have one that's two years old that I'm waiting on... but most are gotten within 6 months of the original date. Anything done overseas is a crapshoot on time... the slow boat from china is fact, not just stereotype... and customs can take a month or two to clear. Don't fret... it will come. I have $300 tied into them.

Slow 'N Sear started off as a KickStarter I had to cancel due to a conflict of interest issue, and we BEAT our KS timeline. Just sayin

[Huskee]

I look at that brush and while I think it will work, it looks like they just crammed a couple existing designs into one brush. Color me skeptical that it's worth its price.

You are an exception that proves the rule.

Plus... and note I love the slow n sear and have an original one and use it to Sear my steaks all the time...

You are talking about a non-electrical mechanical product that essentially just needed to be shaped and pressed after your R and D vs a complex electrical product involving computers, etc. Plus your original product was manufactured in the US... I'm doubting the meater is all being done here. I'm just saying... it is rare that the KS people meet their deadlines. You are an exception to that, and is commendable. Just saying, if you go in expecting them to meet it, you'll be heartbroken most of the time.

Besides, at least they provide updates. A lot of them don't at all. You have no idea WTF is going on. Honestly, the biggest issue that often occurs is when a KS is more popular than expected, like the meater. The extra product can cause delays, the extra money might make it tempting to add new features, pushing back the release, etc.
