This thread caught my attention because I never heard of similar things here in Brazil (at least not in the south, where BBQ is a basic need) Reasons: 1 - we use lifts (?): like this one [1] 2 - people, in general, clean the grill using some rough paper while the grill is still hot, then wash it with some sponge, water and soap. Hardly something that has metal (like brass or steel brush) is used, since they affect th…
"Spits" (as in "spit-roasted"), or "skewers"
I can't tell you how many times I've seen metal brushes next to teflon-coated grills. Or even worse, visibly flaked teflon coating on grills heated to high temperatures. Suffice it to say, it's been often enough to remark on. Should you decide to own teflon-coated grill equipment, use an onion to clean your grill next time; it's far less abrasive.
I won't use pans with non stick surface coatings either. Over time, the non stick coating wears away, but where did it go? It tends to have gone away in the areas where the food goes. Thus the non stick coating goes into your food. I threw out all my non stick pans and pots and bought stainless steel and never looked back. DuPont has us convinced we need non stick coated kitchenware but stainless steel is perfectly f…

I use a coarse sea salt that is a little larger than kosher salt. It works out better with fish and meat.
True, but is a lot more costly so you may want to save the fancy stuff for at-table seasoning instead of pre-prep! http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/03/ask-the-food-lab-do-i-nee...
By some miracle it dislodged from my throat and I was able to spit it out. So wasn't deep in the first place, but enough to rattle me.

> old newspapers... which of course we know today it's not such a great idea, heh Why is it a bad idea? The newspaper thing is common in Oz, and a quick Google turned up nothing.
What mattashii said: newspaper ink has (or at least used to have) lots of lead. I'm not sure how bad it is, but I'd imagine that long-term you might want to avoid it. Specially when something as easy to find as a potato or a bunch of leaves will do the same job without the risk :)
I know he has several hundred of these to sell. They work well but he definitely needs a distributor.

Isn't a metal wire highly visible in x-ray? How doctors miss that?
Also, aren't BBQ bristle brushes magnetic? Wouldn't a simple magnet over the spot have exacerbated the pain and triggered a closer look? Not that you'd have known to use a magnet to test it, but now it's certainly something that could be considered on a checklist of cheap/free things to check before more expensive/time consuming/invasive procedures are initiated.
"Kevin Gallant, of Summerside, P.E.I., had part of his small intestine removed after he swallowed a bristle from a barbecue brush. "I was very ill, probably as close to death as you want to be," he said from his home in Summerside, P.E.I. "The barbecue brush bristle had started to move, so it was trying to come through the wall of my small intestine. So I was told I was very fortunate that they found it, because it w…
Why not? The brush cleans perfectly well and he's now aware of the risks. He'll probably inspect his food a lot more thoroughly too...
