A long brush for the pizza stone and oven floor
The DUSH PACE pizza oven brush, model number DXRDD02, has a single job: getting residue off the pizza stone and out of the pizza oven. At the front sit brass bristles and a stainless steel scraper, behind them a long wooden handle. With us it is listed under grill accessories, between grill brushes, cleaners and cutlery. We currently have no second brush specifically for pizza stones or ovens in this category.
Everything written here about the brush comes from the Amazon catalogue, retrieved on 05.10.2026, and from the product photos. We found no website for the brand, and no instructions or data sheet either. We have not handled the brush, and we have not cleaned anything with it. Where we infer something from photos or materials knowledge, we say so.
Brass, stainless steel, wood: what sits on the stick
The Amazon description is short and so densely packed with search terms that you have to peel out the actual information. What remains is the following. The bristles are brass and, according to the seller, clean “gently”. The scraper is stainless steel, integrated into the head and meant for baked-on residue, “ideal for stubborn dirt”, as it says there. The handle is wood and long, explicitly “for more distance”. Wooden handle and brass bristles are said to be built “for regular use”. And there is a hanging loop.
The main photo shows more. The brush head is a long, narrow metal strip, from which the brass bristles protrude as a dense block to one side. The front end is formed by the scraper, a flat stainless steel blade that is slightly wider than the strip. In the picture, the hanging loop is a wire hoop at the top end of the handle.
Beside that, the brush is shown disassembled: on the left a head piece with a metal shaft, on the right the wooden handle piece, with a small screwdriver in between. We conclude from this that you screw head and handle together yourself. However, the description says nothing about assembly, and whether the tool is included also remains open.
The catalogue lists yellow as the colour. In the photos that is most likely the brass tone of the bristles; the handle is light and the metal parts are silver.
66 or 53 centimetres: how long is the brush really?
That cannot be said with certainty. Title and description state 66 cm, while the catalogue field for size says 21 inches, which converts to about 53.3 cm. Both values come from the same seller.
A third value does not help. The catalogue gives the item dimensions for height, length and width as 8.27 inches each, which is 21.0 cm in all three directions. A cube with 21 cm edges is not a possible product dimension for a long brush; it looks more like a packaging or placeholder entry. It stands out that the 21 appears twice, once as inches and once as centimetres. A mix-up of units would explain that, but we cannot prove it.
For you, the difference of a good 12 cm matters above all in deep ovens. So before buying, measure how far it is from the oven opening to the back wall, and add the piece of handle you want to keep in your hand. Plan with the shorter figure: if the brush reaches at 53 cm, it will certainly reach at 66 cm. The other way round would be annoying.
The seller names the purpose of the length itself: distance. Presumably this means the distance of your hand from the heat, that is from embers, flame or hot stone floor. Exactly how far follows from the calculation above.
In detail: why brass on the stone, and where the scraper works differently
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc and clearly softer than steel. That is why brass bristles are the usual choice when a steel brush would be too coarse for a surface. Pizza stones are mostly made of cordierite or fireclay, both fired, porous materials. The pores absorb fat and moisture, and a hard brush wears away more of the surface than a soft one. “Gentle” is the seller’s promise here, and nothing more than that word is stated. It does not promise that no marks at all will remain on your stone.
The scraper works on a different principle. Bristles sweep away loose crumbs, flour and ash; a blade, by contrast, levers off stubbornly baked-on spots, such as charred cheese or topping that ran onto the stone through a tear in the dough. Stainless steel is harder than brass. Leverage adds to this: at the end of a long stick, even a little force from the wrist produces noticeable pressure at the blade, and the angle is harder to control from that distance than with a short hand scraper. Our assessment: we would guide the scraper flat and use it only where the bristles get nowhere, rather than drawing it across the whole surface.
In a wood-fired oven there is a second use. There you push the embers to the side and, before launching the pizza, sweep ash and ember residue off the hot floor so that it does not stick to the underside of the pizza. The floor is then several hundred degrees. A long handle is meant for exactly this job, and here the length question from the previous section becomes practical: the deeper the oven, the less handle is left in front of the opening. Whether the brush is approved for this hot use is stated nowhere in the catalogue. The word “fireproof” appears there only as a search term, in the phrase “pizzaofen besen feuerfest”, with no temperature and no reference to a component.
In gas-fired ovens there is no ash. There, mainly burnt flour or semolina from launching stays on the stone and turns black at high heat. That is usually loose and a job for the bristles; the scraper only comes into play for spilled topping.
With a loose pizza stone in a grill or oven, things look different. You usually take it out cooled down or brush it in the cold appliance, so heat does not matter for the brush.
Care and storage according to the catalogue text
For caring for the brush, the catalogue gives exactly two words: “rinse, dry”. In the description the words are attached to the hanging loop, so we read them as an instruction for the brush.
For the stone this explicitly does not apply. How you treat a pizza stone so that it does not crack is covered in our guide cracked pizza stone.
Wood swells if it stays wet for a long time and dries unevenly if it lies in a closed drawer. That is materials knowledge, not information from DUSH PACE. The loop at the end of the handle fits this: hanging, water can drip off the bristles, and air reaches the wood from all sides. At the stated length the brush hardly fits into any kitchen drawer anyway; a hook on the wall or at the oven stand is the obvious place.
What the seller does not state
These points remain open because there is no source for the brush apart from the Amazon listing:
- Width of the head, length of the bristles and weight
- Hardness of the bristles; the word “medium-hard” does not appear in the seller’s text
- Wood type and surface treatment of the handle
- Temperature limits for bristles, head and handle, and therefore whether you may brush in the hot oven
- Dimensions of the scraper and how it is attached to the head
- Suitability for grill grates, enamelled or bare
- Replacement heads and spare parts
- Dishwasher
- Exact contents of the package
- Warranty and country of origin
What else comes into question?
There is no second pizza stone brush in our catalogue. The three alternatives below solve related cleaning tasks, and they show when the DUSH PACE is the right choice and when it is not.
| Model | The difference | Price | Our rating | Choose this one if |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DUSH PACE pizza oven brush (this one) | Brass bristles plus stainless steel scraper on a long wooden handle, for stone and oven | approx. €11 | 7.8 | you clean a pizza stone or oven floor |
| Kona Safe/Clean grill brush | bristle-free with stainless steel spirals, designed for grill grates | approx. €32 | 8.8 | you mainly clean grates and do not want to risk loose wire bristles |
| Rösle BBQ Premium 3-piece | Set of grill tongs, gloves and grate brush with replaceable brush set | approx. €46 | 8.9 | you are also missing tongs and gloves at the grill |
| Weber stainless steel cleaner 300 ml | Spray cleaner for outer stainless steel parts, not for grate or stone | approx. €20 | 8.4 | you want to care for the housing of a grill or oven |
The prices are guide values from our price boxes and change; the rating is our editorial assessment based on the available data, not a measurement result.
Who it suits, and when you should pick something else
The brush costs approx. €11 (Amazon page on 20.10.2026: €10.99). For that amount you get a tool tailored to one surface, the stone. Who it suits follows from that too.
If you have a pizza oven with a stone floor or regularly bake with a pizza stone in the grill, it is described for exactly this purpose. The combination of bristles for the loose and a scraper for the baked-on covers both kinds of residue that form on a stone. In our comparison this is the reason it is a candidate for pizza bakers at all, even though all three alternatives are rated higher: none of them is meant for the stone.
If, on the other hand, you mainly clean grill grates, the Kona Safe/Clean is the closer fit. It costs approx. €32 and the DUSH PACE approx. €11, but it is built for grates, while the DUSH PACE claims no suitability for them.
If you are missing tongs and gloves at the grill anyway, the Rösle set comes into consideration. The Rösle BBQ Premium 3-piece costs approx. €46, but contains a grate brush and, precisely, no brush for the stone. If you want to look after pizza and grill grate equally, you realistically end up with two tools.
The Weber stainless steel cleaner does not compete with the brush. It costs approx. €20 and is meant for the stainless steel outer skin, so it is a complement if your oven has a stainless steel housing.
The DUSH PACE is the wrong choice for anyone who needs reliable information before buying. If you run a masonry wood-fired oven, for example, and need to know how long head and handle will hold up on the hot oven floor, you will not learn that from any page here. The same applies if you want to buy replacement heads rather than replace a worn brush entirely. And if you only have a small tabletop oven, a stick of this length can get in the way in front of the opening. Whether you need the reach is shown by the measurement from the section on length.
