I bought this spray bottle thinking the concept was great, just spray the marinade on the meat instead of painting it on. Unfortunately the pump handle broke after only a couple of sprays. Apparently the only type of marinade you can use with this item has to have the same viscosity as water. The mixture of oil and vinegar it seems was too much for the plastic pump handle. It looks good but for all practical purposes it's useless. I will provide you with more instruction than the postage stamp size note that comes with it; if you buy this spray bottle only use clear liquids in it.

This is a flimsy plastic bottle with a metal covering over it, and a spray head that doesn't spray anything other than water. I tested it as soon as it arrived with water and it worked fine. I've tried twice to use it with a bbq mop sauce and it has failed both times. It failed to spray even a drop with very thin apple cider vinegar mop with just a few spices in it. It couldn't pull the liquid up the straw at all. I would not recommend this.

I am the proud owner of other items endorsed by Steve Raichlen including four of his cookbooks. Earlier this year I introduced my brother in law to the art of outdoor grilling with a gift basket that included Steve Raichlen's BBQ bible, Steve's wood chip soaker set and Steve's Chili Pepper Roasting rack. I said all of that to qualify my endorsement of Steve's other products but NOT this one.

For Fathers Day I received this as a gift and eagerly looked forward to adding this to my assortment of outdoor cooking impliments. After church we came home and lit the charcoals in my smoker (we have 2 smokers and 2 grills), mixed up my favorite rub and once the smoker reached 250 degrees loaded it up with chicken and ribs.

After 30 minutes I grabbed the nifty little marinade spray bottle filled up with apple juice (I like to sprits the meat with apple juice every 30 minutes during the smoking process), opened the lid of my smoker and pulled the trigger. On the first pull it fell apart. Literally. The trigger mechanism came apart in my hand, the spring shot out and landed in the grass, a small cap like piece went inside the smoker and the bottle fell splashing me with apple juce...

I grabbed my old cheap but tried and true plastic bottle, filled it with apple juice and commenced to spritzing the ribs and chicken. Last year I grilled and smoked 40 out of 52 weeks (can you tell I like to cook outdoors?) and my trusty little cheap squirt bottle is still working almost 2 years since it was purchased.

I had high hopes of this product but sadly it broke on the first pull of the trigger. Buy something else and save your monies and your dinner.

Honest reviews on Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Marinade Spray Bottle

This is a cheap spray bottle that does not seal, does not spray very well and leaks, with a fancy stainless outside. Not worth $2, much less the $8 they charged. Don't waste your money.

Not as much spray volume per pump as similar products. Steel sleeve falls off if you hold it by the sprayer. Sprayer broke after a year of occasional use.
