Title: Grillbot
Post by: Canadian John on December 29, 2017, 08:12:32 PM: Never heard of it until I saw it on local TV promoting winter babbecuing...Thought I had seen it all. Wong again..It is a rechargeable robotic device with replaceable rotating brushes..Looks a a bit like a turtle. Place it on the grate, shut the lid and let it go..

What's next? I hate to even think about it.

Exactly! Then they will blame the maufacturer for not including that in the instructions.

I like how they said that their regular brush cost $25. Looks like a $5 brush to me. Maybe thst was supposed to make the cost of the Grillbot look less ridiculous.

I believe the $25 brush statement was misunderstood. Wasn't it two for $5 ? ;)

I agree, maybe if the grate was 10' x 10'
