The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Kona brush and scraper uses a round-bristle design in a black, gray, and silver color scheme. The round-bristle format is designed to reach into the channels between grate bars from multiple angles, which gives it an advantage over flat brushes on heavily ridged grates.
At $17.95 this tool is priced below many competitors with similar or lower ratings. The 4.6-star result from 812 reviews is a credible score at that sample size, indicating that the round-bristle plus scraper combination delivers on its promises for most buyers.
The listed 16 lb weight is worth noting. Like the Kona 720, this figure is unusually high for a hand tool and should be verified against buyer comments before purchase. If accurate, it would make this one of the heaviest brushes on the market.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a round-bristle brush and a standard flat-bristle brush?
A round-bristle brush has bristles arranged in a cylindrical or spiral pattern that wraps around the grate bar from multiple angles, cleaning the top and sides in one stroke. A flat brush contacts only the top surface of the bar. Round-bristle designs tend to be more thorough on cast iron grates with deep ridges, though they can be harder to maneuver on wider flat grates.
When should I use the scraper versus the bristles?
Use the bristles for routine residue removal after each cook while the grates are still warm. Use the scraper attachment for stubborn carbonized buildup that does not release with brushing alone. The scraper works best on cool or slightly warm grates where hardened residue has solidified and can be chipped away rather than smeared.
