Skip the welder's gloves and go straight to scilicone rated at least at 450 degrees. Then the other secret is always plan in advance where you will be placing that hot PS.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

I will respectfully disagree with Sir RRP. Get the welder's gloves. Cheap. Buy a new pair every year. Silicon is only good up to a certain temp. I use my silicon gloves to handle really hot meat but I use my welders gloves to handle really HOT grill parts.Richmond and Mathews County, VA. Large BGE, Weber gas, little Weber charcoal.

I have Orka brand silicone gloves. Leathers gloves that are wet, whether grease or water, conduct heat much too well. Whatever you use, make sure to have a spot picked out close by, and nothing in the way. Pick it up and put it down quickly, especially a plate setter.

Of course if you really want protection then buy a set of these 2,100º steel foundry workers gloves! Trouble is I find them too hard to use and they will end up in that stack of weird stuff my executor will try to sell all the time shaking his head wondering what that old dude bought "those things" for!

I have a pair of 1980s vintage welders gloves. Also a silicone mitt (just one) and a pair of nomex gloves. I bought the welders 100 years ago when I used a wood stove for heat and the other two were gifts because someone else apparently thought I needed them. When I need 'em, I need 'em, but that happens so infrequently, I really don't care. They're all good enough, a couple of hot pads would be fine too. I use those as often as not.
Be quick and have a landing spot picked out in advance and a folded up dish towel would be fine.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Personally I prefer grill gloves that readily slip on/off. Those won't do that.
Also, you need to be very careful around hot liquids - if you spill anything on your hand it goes right thru the fabric and will burn you.
I do like those gloves for use in my oven tho.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -

These "which gloves should I use" threads always leave me scratching my head. I use a five dollar set of oven mits and never have a problem. But then again, I rarely take my egg above 500 and have no desire to grab grill parts when I do.

I have tried many different gloves. The absolute best i have found are the BlueFire gloves with nomex and kevlar. Thay are tested and rated above 900 deg. I can easily pick up a screaming hot cast iron pan and carry it into the kitchen. Amazing in my opinion. They are available on Amazon for around $40 and IMO worth every single penny. Great gloves.

Fwiw, here are the two gloves I've settled on. I've keep a few back ups of each on hand. As was mentioned above - the welding gloves are easy on and off. The grey ones are to my liking for pulling the meat.
The welding gloves are on sale right now for just 7.50. I just ordered another pair when I saw that - I think they are usually around the $13 mark.

Welding gloves are cheap and provide some heat protection. I keep a pair with my egg and use them for most things. They do not, however, provide a lot of protection if you need to move really hot items or hold onto anything for more than a brief time. The food gloves are fine for handling food, but they don't offer very much heat resistance.
My favorite gloves are fire fighting gloves. They provide very good heat protection and are water proof. Only issue with them is that they are costly.

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
I have had a pair of these for 3 years and they are awesome, I no longer have to know where the hot plate setter is going! The big box stores have a knock off of these and I'm sure they will work just as well. http://biggreenegg.com/product/eggmitt/

Why not just buy a tool to handle the platesetter? Smokeware makes a nice lifting tool. That can be handled for a long time with simple grilling gloves. I have used my Weber silicone gripped high heat woven gloves to move a hot platesetter. Also welding gloves. Both got uncomfortably close to being inadequate protection.
