BBQ grill scraper and cleaner
A barbeque grill scraper that uses a scraping edge with a tooth formed of a wearable material to remove char and debris from the grill grates. The tooth fits between adjoining grill grates to guide the scraping edge and create a plurality of indents in the scraping edge that match the top profile of the grill grates. The grill grates are thus thoroughly cleaned without the health risks associated with wire brush cleaners. Another embodiment further utilizes a protruding cleaning tool to access and clean the lower sides and bottom of the grill grates.
1. A barbeque grill scraper, comprising:
a scraper having a grasping end, a scraping edge, and a tooth, the scraping edge formed of a wearable material, the tooth extending below the scraping edge and configured to fit between adjoining grill grates such that manipulation of the scraping edge along the grill grates forms a plurality of indents matching a top profile of the grill grates.
2. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 1 , wherein the wearable material comprises a species of wood.
3. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 1 , wherein the scraping edge is rigid.
4. A barbeque grill scraper, comprising:
a scraper having a grasping end and a scraping end, the scraping end having a scraping edge, a tooth, and a protruding grate cleaning tool, the scraping edge formed of a wearable material, the tooth extending from the scraping edge and configured to fit between adjoining grill grates such that manipulation of the scraping edge along the grill grates forms a plurality of indents matching a top profile of the grill grates, and the protruding grate cleaning tool extending from a side of the scraping end and configured to remove debris from between and under the grill grates.
5. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 4 , wherein the wearable material comprises a species of wood.
6. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 4 , wherein the protruding grate cleaning tool is an L-shaped piece constructed of metal.
7. A barbeque grill scraper comprising:
a scraping end having a leading scraping edge formed by thinning a thickness of the scraping end such that manipulation of the scraping edge along grill grates forms a plurality of indents matching a top profile of the grill grates in the uninterrupted scraping edge; and
a tooth extending from the scraping edge having a thickness greater than the scraping edge and configured to fit between adjoining grill grates to align the scraping edge with the grill grates.
8. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 7 , further comprising a grasping end extending from the scraping end away from the scraping edge.
9. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 7 , wherein the scraping edge is linear.
10. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 7 , wherein the tooth is secured along a longitudinal axis of the scraping end.
11. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 10 , wherein the scraping edge is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the scraping end.
12. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 7 , wherein the scraping end has an upper surface defining an upper plane and a lower surface defining a lower plane parallel with the upper surface, the scraping edge defined at an end of the upper surface.
13. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 12 , wherein the tooth has a lower surface that is coincident with the lower plane.
14. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 13 , wherein the tooth has a planar leading surface.
15. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 14 , wherein the leading surface is angled relative to the upper and lower surfaces.
16. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 12 , wherein a tapered surface is formed between the lower surface and the scraping edge as the thickness of the scraping end is thinned.
17. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 16 , wherein the tapered surface defines an arcuate profile from the lower surface to the scraping edge in a cross-sectional plane parallel to a longitudinal axis of the scraping end and perpendicular to the upper and lower surfaces.
18. The barbeque grill scraper of claim 7 , wherein the scraping edge is formed of a rigid material.
