Any gloves that you can grab a hot platesetter with?

FxLynch · March 2012

I usually just grab it with a set of tongs, balancing it with the ash tool, but would love to be able to pull the platesetter out by hand when it's hot. Do gloves exist for a reasonable price that can handle that kind of heat? If so, please provide a link so I know that I'm looking at the right product.

Thanks,

Frank

I have a pair of welder's gloves that I got from the A-OX guy that comes by where I work. They were $12. I tried out all his gloves including the ones he sells for $8 that his brother uses in competitions. The ones I got had more padding in the fingers.

I have a pair from Lowes bbq section. They are black. Depends how hot you are talking about and better have a place to go with it. I have removed platesetter with them on a 400° burn.

I've removed a hot plate-setter from the egg and pizza stone from the oven using my pit-mitts. No problem...even holding onto the stone longer than I thought I'd be able to.

I use welders gloves with an old pair of leather gloves as "pot holders". Works good, but you better know where you're going with it.

I got a pair of the PVC welders gloves at Grainger. I have a pair of short, and a pair of long for the big cooker. On an egg, you only need a short pair. They are made by Best. You can even put them in the dish washer if you want to. I don't use the leather ones because the grease soaks into them while pulling butts.

I use Ove-gloves. They work fine but I would imagine that the welder's gloves or big bad-a** BBQ gloves work better at higher heat.

I use one of these silicone Orka gloves. Claims to handle up to 480 degrees. Works fine for me when I have to lift or pull the plate setter QUICKLY. I wouldn't hold it too long.

Thanks. Saw that when did the picture and forgot it. That is called " grand kids". Now the white one is for dipping out the ash if to high for the rake.

Mickey, we dont all have $40 pair of chan-el-lock pliers just laying around? You dont have any mechanic buddies, do you?

FxLynch · March 2012

I would be afraid the channel locks would break the platesetter, but apparently they don't.

Thanks for all the recomendations folks, I will take a look and try to pick out a good pair. My table has a ceramic tile next to the egg that I can set it on, or just on the concrete patio so I don't need to hold it for very long.

Thanks again,

Frank

They have not yet. And they never get hot when I can't put things down right away.

Just spit on yer hands and work quick, lol. I found this method works best after 4 or five 12oz doses of anistetic.

Actually I use a pair of leather work gloves, the $2 kind you get at hardware stores. They keep me from burning for about 20 sec, which has usually been long enough to get it out.

The pvc gloves look pretty neat though. May have to add a pair of them to my birthday list.

Agreed. If the platesetter needs moving at 600+* then the channel locks are the way to go.

My gloves are a cheap pair that I use for everything - working on the car, grilling, you name it. Toss them in the dark laundry after a cook and they're good to go for the next one. I think I got them for $6 with a towel and carabiner from Lowe's.

Howdy, Stranger!
