You can use the flat edge of anything with a little leverage to pry a bottle cap off using your fingers as a fulcrum beneath the cap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm0ZkABVqjQ
if you have sturdy (ie like volkswagen/audi/bmw) keys, you can use a key in a similar fashion

Yup, what everyone else said: rust is fine. At least it's preferable to chunks of chrome coating :) Argentine grills are not coated. If you want to keep them from rusting, you just grease them a bit with the remains of the meat (you usually don't even need to do that) and clean them up next time around. If you are really concerned about the rust, you can always coat the grill with vegetable oil (just take a paper nap…
I use a coarse sea salt that is a little larger than kosher salt. It works out better with fish and meat.

Blowing fire as well?
Can't imagine that would be legal. The flame liquids are either toxic and mustn't be swallowed, or they're very high strength alcohol. Also, you have a significant fire risk with blowing fire - a friend once set a pub counter ablaze...
As for toxicity, you can fire breathe with pharmaceutical grade paraffin(kerosene), if you accidentally swallow some, you'll just experience its laxative effects
I knew it! I was always terrified of those bristles and just don't clean the grill. The coals do a fine job of cleaning it as it is, usually I just quickly scrape it with BBQ tongs.
I don't think cleaning a barbecue grill is about sanitation so much as removing the built up, burnt crap. Heat will take care of the former; the latter could insulate the grill (so your food doesn't cook as evenly) or give an unpleasant flavor.
Shouldn't the manufacturer of these brushes be held responsible for such issues?
If there are internal emails at the company saying "well our testing shows it might kill people but we'll save 2 cents per brush if we accept weaker wire attachments" then sure. I doubt it's that clear cut.

Off topic but any other tricks you learned from Argentinian circus people? Or circus people in general?
Our kids in a standard German school has one whole week devoted to learning circus tricks and acts. At the end of the week, they put on a show for the parents and the local community. Money raised from the ticket sales goes back to the school. The kids loved it, and so did the parents. They did things like walking on glass, eating fire, trapeze and other crazy acts.
I did this a few months back and replaced it with a "cool cleaning" nylon-based one after I started noticing the extremely tiny metal bristles falling onto my grill. My wife said I was crazy -- today I feel vindicated.

Sounds like an insurance nightmare.
German kids videos and books can be really good too, like the 'was ist was' series that, say, really shows you how internal combustion engines work. I say "can be" because there's a lot of crap there too.
