Quick answer
Worth it if you bake several pizzas in a row on a stone and want to clean it without reaching in. 15 cm head with brass bristles and a scraper, detachable handle of 120, 80 or 40 cm. The listing does not mention kamado or promise it will not scratch cordierite: use a light hand.
Brass bristles, a metal scraper and a 120 cm handle that shortens to 80 or 40. Made for pizza ovens; on a kamado you keep it short, and the listing says nothing about cordierite.
The G.a HOMEFAVOR TL031 is a cleaning brush for pizza ovens: a 15 cm head with brass wire bristles, a metal scraper on the back and a 120 cm aluminium handle. The listing sells it for pizza ovens and barbecues, names brass, stainless steel and aluminium as materials and describes the stiffness as firm but flexible. Item dimensions are 120 × 5 × 9.3 cm; the weight is not published. The word kamado appears nowhere in the listing.
On our patch it has a single job: the pizza stone. When you bake several pizzas in a row, as in the kamado Neapolitan pizza, the flour and cheese that escape burn onto the stone and are best removed before the next one. With the lid open and the stone still hot, the bristles sweep off dust and loose debris, and the scraper on the back deals with whatever is stuck. For the rest of the method there is the kamado pizza guide. Lift the lid a little to let air in before opening it fully, and wear gloves anyway: the listing gives no maximum temperature and aluminium conducts heat.
The handle is what needs the most thought. The listing says the 120 cm is for reaching deep into ovens and cooking plates, in other words a deep-mouthed pizza oven; on a kamado it is far too long. The listing says it shortens to 80 or 40 cm, and 40 cm is the logical starting point for a 46 cm (Large, Classic) or a 33 cm (MiniMax, Joe Jr). On a 61 cm (XL, Big Joe), or with the stone sitting low, you may want the 80 cm length. That is an estimate from measurements, not a hands-on test. The head fits horizontally or vertically: on a round 30 cm stone, such as the Rösle VARIO in our catalogue, about two passes with the 15 cm head are enough.
Now the drawbacks. Brass is softer than stainless steel, which is why it tends to be chosen for delicate surfaces, but the scraper on the back is metal and the listing says nothing about cordierite: it does not claim the brush will not scratch, and neither do we. On the stone, use light pressure and no water while it is hot. Also, any metal bristle can shed one: after brushing, look the surface over before putting dough on it. The listing asks you to rinse the brush under water straight after use, and publishes no weight, maximum temperature or warranty.
About the seller: G.a HOMEFAVOR sells under its own name and the listing says nothing more about the brand. The rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 418 reviews, ranked 39th in barbecue and smoker brushes; that is a score for generic use, not for cleaning a stone in a kamado.
Verdict: a brass brush with a scraper and a detachable handle that does the job for the stone between pizzas, as long as you keep the handle short and do not assume it will not scratch.
A brass brush with scraper and detachable handle, reasonable for the stone between pizzas with the handle kept short. No guarantee it will not scratch cordierite.

Cons
- The listing does not mention kamado, a maximum temperature or cordierite

Who it's for
For anyone baking several pizzas in a row on a stone in a kamado who wants to clean it hot without reaching in, with the handle shortened.
Not for

Rösle VARIO 25424: 30 cm cordierite pizza stone
It is what this brush is there to clean: a round 30 cm cordierite stone according to its listing. With a 15 cm head about two passes are enough. Check that 30 cm fits your grate and read what its maker says about metal brushes.

G.a HOMEFAVOR Perforated Aluminium Pizza Peel 22.8 cm
The same brand sells a perforated aluminium peel, 22.8 cm going by its title. The pairing follows the rhythm of a bake: the peel puts each pizza in and takes it out, the brush cleans the stone between one and the next. Check that its size is enough for the diameter of your pizzas.

Rapicca XL Barbecue Gloves 43 cm
Cleaning a hot stone means reaching into a very hot chamber, and the aluminium handle conducts heat. Long barbecue gloves, 43 cm going by their title, let you hold the handle and work the lid without burns. It is a complementary buy, not a substitute for the long handle.

FAQ
What handle length should I use on a kamado?
The listing says the 120 cm handle shortens to 80 or 40 cm. On a 46 cm kamado (Large, Classic) or a 33 cm (MiniMax, Joe Jr), 40 cm is the logical starting point: with the lid up and the stone resting on the grate, you can reach it without levering. On a 61 cm (XL, Big Joe), or with the stone sitting low, you may need the 80 cm length. That is an estimate from measurements, not a test, so check against your own kamado.
Will it scratch a cordierite stone?
The listing does not say it is suitable for cordierite or that it will not scratch, and we will not claim it. What is true: brass is softer than stainless steel, but the scraper on the back is metal. On the stone, use light pressure and short passes, and keep the scraper edge for what is genuinely stuck. If your stone comes with the maker's instructions, read what they say about metal bristles.
Can I clean the stone hot, and how do I clean the brush?
The listing gives no maximum temperature, but it sells the brush for pizza ovens, which run very hot, and the aluminium handle conducts heat: wear gloves. Clean the stone with the lid open and no water while it is hot. According to the listing, the brush is rinsed under water straight after use: better with the head already cool, and dry it before putting it away.
Does it work on the grate too, or is there something better in the catalogue?
The listing sells it for barbecues, but the head is only 15 cm and made for stones and ovens, so a whole grate will be slow. The catalogue has more suitable options: the Fackelmann with scraper has brass bristles, a scraper and a 42 cm wooden handle, and the Weber 6277 is a triangular stainless steel brush of 30 cm. One for the grate and this one for the stone is a sensible split.
