Original Gi.Metal Replacement Head with Natural Bristles
The R-SPN2 is the original Gi.Metal replacement head with natural fibre bristles for the AC-SPN2 pivoting pizza oven brush. The rectangular wooden head of approx. 20 x 6 cm cleans the oven floor gently and effectively, removing ash, burnt flour and baking residues without scratching the refractory stone. Weight approx. 270 g, tool-free replacement in seconds.
Why Choose Natural Bristles
Many pizza chefs prefer natural fibre over brass or steel bristles because it carries no risk of micro-scratches on delicate oven floors. It is the right choice for electric ovens with treated surfaces, soapstone and refractory floors that must keep a perfectly smooth baking surface, and for ovens where metal residues are not acceptable. Cleaning remains thorough: the dense natural fibres collect fine ash and flour dust that metal bristles often leave behind.

How to Use It
Let the oven floor cool below baking temperature, then brush ash and residues towards the mouth of the oven with long, even strokes. Replace the head as soon as the bristles appear shortened, hardened or irregular: a worn head spreads residues instead of collecting them. With daily professional use, keeping a spare head in stock avoids any downtime during service.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not use the natural bristle head on a glowing-hot floor straight after firing: excessive heat shortens bristle life. Do not soak the wooden head in water, and do not keep using a worn head, which leaves flour dust on the floor and burns under the next pizzas.
