I have the natural bristle Grill Badger and can only say that the company is issuing some problematic guidance per how to use it: this sort of brush used to be used all the time in bbq's down south as it was the only one available. However, they lasted forever and did a great job because they were first soaked in water, then used on grills. The water made the bristles more pliable and able to withstand the heat while the water on a hot grill boiled away stuck on bits by steaming the grates. Leave the heat on for a minute with the lid closed while having had the brush soak in a bucket for a while then go to work. It'll last forever, no bits of bristle will get into the food and your grill will be clean.

OK guys let's be real about the metal bristle issue. Yes it can happen but there's an EASY solution to avoid that.
1) Use the metal bristle brush to clean your grates because let's face it- IT WORKS!
2) Then use a nylon brush after as a way to brush off anything left behind!
3) START Qing baby! ✌😎👍

here's a thought while cleaning the hot grates, just remove the top grate so you don't burn your hand.

I think it's worth mentioning that the test on both types of grills is less about "gas vs charcoal", but "stainless bar style vs cast iron style". Gas is more commonly available with both, while charcoal is almost always stainless grates.

Am I the only person that just cranks the heat up and closes the lid? After that a paper towel with oil… squeaky clean.

As someone who grills most days of the year and has used the Weber brush since it’s inception, if you clean before and after use and keep your grates oiled, there won’t be any gunk for wire bristles to become lodged in. This way, if a bristle or two does come loose, they will fall harmlessly through the grate. Maintenance is always the first step to being safe. If you are lazy with maintenance, it will always cost you down the line.

I own a Weber 12 inch triangular brush and I'm quite satisfied. The metal wires are firmly attached to the instrument and poses few threat of being released on the grill as cheaper metal brushes do. I inspect it each time I use it. Simple caution. After having cleaned the grill, I add a second layer of security by using the wooden brush. If per unluck, a metal wire would disloge from the brush to end on the gril and ultimately in my anatomy, applying the wood brush is almost certain to have removed any of these tiny devils.
