This is a real problem. My wife had been having extreme stomach pain for months, multiple trips to the emergency room, gastroenterologist, nothing could be found. She described that she felt that there was a hole in her stomach, the doctors called it stress. On her final ER visit (two months after the pain began), something showed up in the CT scan (the 3rd one). Embedded in her belly fat was a wire. Everything click…
By the time it reached her belly fat, was the pain any less?

#283J/K, the real trick it to clean it after you're doing using it and not let the solids cool. I use a foil ball most of the time.

Isn't a metal wire highly visible in x-ray? How doctors miss that?

#285A trick I learned from Argentinian circus people, who make amazing BBQ, is let the grill heat up and then cut an onion in half to rub on the grate. It imparts a nice flavor and cleans the grill very well.
Off topic but any other tricks you learned from Argentinian circus people? Or circus people in general?
It turns out they make cute little unicycles for four year olds. Amazing! All he really learned was unicycling, biking, some inappropriate language in English, and general irresponsibility. All of which have served him well.

#286Slight related topic: Anyone else BBQ a lot, reach to open a beer bottle, but are missing an opener? Why don't they make every BBQ utensil have a decent bottle opener at the end. Better yet, every utensil in your house? Please take this idea and run with, just tell me where to buy a set.

Fuck this I'm done with brushes.
I just saw this at my state fair. I think I'll be getting one now: https://www.amazon.com/Woody-Paddle-Natural-Scraper-Scrape/d...

#289This issue is actually not isolated to just barbecues and barbecue brushes although the fact that it gets into your food does make it worse. A few weeks ago my friend invited me to their high class HOA pool that had a sand beach. Wading around in about a foot of water I felt something pierce my foot when I took a step. When I pulled my foot out of the water to see what it was I could see it was a thin piece of metal…
There was a very tiny piece of something stuck in my thumb, which I was able to remove but not able to inspect very closely as it was pitch black outside and I was working with a flashlight.
I wrote it off as most likely being a splinter of glass from somebody's smashed beer bottle that had gone straight through my skin.
Reading this, however... it was much more likely a metal bristle from somebody's cheap camping brush that they used to clean their camping grill.

#290This would be perfect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcvcEg0xGYY And only about $250,000 each.
Could probably just throw out the grill at that point, that thing should cook steak just fine.
