Green Egg Grill

[JohnE]

Well that's a scary occurrence. I haven't been wiping down after brushing (same brush as pictured). I will going forward though.

Cart looks great. I need to build one one of these days.

My BGE is 11 years old now. They warrantied my firebox a few years ago. Great warranty and service. (This ain't no grilldome.)

Just bought my Green Egg this summer, seems I've gotten the hang of it now.

That's the brush I've been using. Works pretty well, but I always wipe the grill down with the scotchbrite pad, them some peanut oil after scrubbing.

Damn, that's gonna leave a mark!!

Going to start wiping down the grill with a rolled up cloth and oil.

Thanks guys!!! That hooked utensil is a pig tail flipper. Works great when I have the two or three tier racks on.

Perforated the last part of the duodenum and caused a pretty good sized abscess. The operation took a couple of hours. She's going to be here awhile recovering. Nasty business.

Moral of the story....don't buy cheap stainless steel grill brushes and wipe the grill down after you brush it.

This is the second time I've heard of this happening in the last couple of years.

The CDC actually isued a warning on it... In short its rare... but not that rare.

I use balled up aluminum foil as a "brush/scraper" followed by a wet rag.
