Ok , I thought the Green Egg was $1500 ,
Is it the base model or is it a Limited Model  ;D
The brand at Costco is Louisiana Grills Kamado... not a Green Egg Kamado.... cheaper for sure, but apparently just as good.

Looks good Gurgie!

Couldn't clean my grill today because my hose is frozen to the ground still  ::)

I am looking for a new brush. I have a wood paddle version but it doesn't work well.

Has anyone used something like this?

Based on a favorite website recommendation, I bought this style. Have had it a year and still looks new...and I grill a lot!

This below model is the actual brush they recommended, but I wanted one with a scraper to get in the channels of my beloved Grill Grates, so I got the above model

Interesting. There are many brushes that are all alike in design. I wouldn't receive those until end of April!

If you pay the expedited shipping ($3.99) you'll have the one I bought next week.

I have one of these hardwood shovel scrapers - works really well and no crud build up so cleaning is easy.

Yeah, the paddle is good.  But it doesn't replace a brush.

I bought this and am happy with it.  Bonus for no metal bristles and being able to swap in a new brush.

I looked at that one but noticed that people were complaining about the refill heads not fitting. 2 stars. I guess the bristles burn away after use. Can you throw it in the dishwasher to get the crud off the bristles?

I haven't had any issues with mine.  I also haven't tried to use a replacement.

Gt a paddle. Does not work with the thick metal grates I have. Perhaps I am doing it wrong

+1 on the paddle. Was disappointed in it.
