Abstract: A grill oiling apparatus for applying oil to a barbecue grill grate. The apparatus includes a handle with an oil reservoir disposed therein. An arm extends from the handle to an attachment flange to which an applicator pad is removeably coupled. A passageway extends between the reservoir and the attachment flange to provide oil from the reservoir onto the applicator pad to at least partially saturate the pad. The pad is placed into contact with a cooking surface such as a grill grate to apply the oil therein onto the grill grate and/or to scrub residue or debris from the grill grate. A heat shield may be provided between the handle and the cooking surface to protect a user's had from exposure to heat from the cooking surface. The applicator pad is removable for replacement or washing.
