Silicone brush ... better than a silicone ADBV.

Consumer magazines do not recommend a grill brush as it can leave behind wires from the brush that then get on your burger. Yum.
Search around for a sound plastic bag which can hold your grill.
Put the grill in with a cup or two of ammonia (bottle strength). You needn't cover the grill with ammonia
The gas will chemically attack the hardened grease. Remember to use fresh ammonia. The gas escapes once the bottle is opened.
Leave it alone overnight and the dirt will push off effortlessly. A little brushing will help, of course.
This works so well I can ask $5 fee for passing it along but I won't because we're.....BITOGers. Kira
ps Ohhhhh....basting brush or cleaning brush?

Cleaning brush. I just use a paint brush for a basting brush.
No brush. Heat up the grates and scrub lightly with a wad of aluminum foil. Works like a charm.
Once a year I pull all my grates from the grills and smokers, put them in a black trash bag when it's 90+ outside and douse them with oven cleaner. Tie up the bag and let it sit for 4-5 hours letting mother nature handle the heat. They come out spotless.

I like keeping them clean and heat doesn't cut it with me - certainly not "spotless" and the residue does promote sticking and hot spots on the food - like cheap cookware makes hot spots in a pan.
The drill I have is a bottle of olive oil by/under the grill. Wet a paper towel and wipe the grates before cooking. As food comes off, run them over quickly with any old grill brush. Clean and fresh for next time.

Mine uses a stainless steel scrubby held in place with two pins. The thing lasts for years. Don't remember the name though. Replacement scrubbies are available.
Doesn't rust, works better than a brush at cleaning and lasts a long, long time.
