The best barbecue mops for brushing on flavorful sauces

By

In order to get the best results using a barbecue mop brush, you need to apply the mop marinade several times during the cooking process. Ideally, you at least baste your meat four times at regular intervals. This will ensure the deepest flavor and consistent cooking throughout. Check this list with our favorite models and pick the best match for your grilling style.

The best barbecue sauce must have a watery-like consistency and should include apple cider vinegar, barbecue sauce, beer, and spices. This blend of ingredients applied by a barbecue mop will help brown and seal your meat to keep all the flavor and moisture inside. Make sure you avoid sugar in your mix unless you are cooking in low temperatures of under 265 degrees.

Cuisinart BBQ Basting Mop Brush

Best Long Handle

The Cuisinart BBQ Basting Mop Brush features an 18-inch long handle for comfortable and cool handling by keeping your hands away from the heat. The brush head has a traditional mop-style brush that absorbs plenty of marinade and spreads it evenly. A favorite of pitmasters.

Outset Silicone Sop Mop

Best Handle Grip

If you are looking for an alternative to cotton, the Outset Silicone Sop Mop features a unique design that mimics thread bristles but has the advantage of food-grade silicone. Heat-resistant up to 500 degrees, this mop has a solid rosewood handle for easy and secure grip. The mop head can be removed with a built-in twist-off mechanism.
