Welding Gloves
Any recommendations on a good pair of welding gloves for
handling a really hot plate setter? TIA

The orca silicone mits work really well. Only issue is they aren't very longGreensboro, NC

I bought a pair of elbow length leather gloves from Amazon. Don't remember the brand, but they were about $15-20 and shipped for free. They've been the best BBQ tool I own...

Stay away from the $6 ones at Harbor Freight. I learned the hard way.

Buy what you wish. But have a game plan for where that HOT platesetter or pizza stone will get moved to. With in a few feet.
I've tried a number of gloves,2000* mitts and combos of them. That heat will transfer through any of them. So they can't be moved to far. I burnt my fingers enough times so as not to drop the PS.
Seen a picture of a gripper someone made out of rebar and handle of a welders chipper. My BIL said he'll fab one up. I'll sear him a ribeye in return.
Good luck

I use some welding gloves made by Kinco (product ID 7900) over the internet, purchased originally for working with a fireplace insert. Excellent gloves for that purpose. I have used them to move a pizza stone. But, as GK59 says, you need to have a game plan and don't want to dawdle.

I hang mine under the table while loading lump or when not needed. I haven't touched my platesetter since I made this three or four months ago.

Leather gloves will allow you to remove a hot platesetter, pizza stone or cast iron grate... but work quickly... Know where you're going to set the hot object... Heat WILL penetrate the leather after a few seconds... and they stay hot. Get them loose enough that you can shake them off as soon as you set down the hot object.

Make sure whatever you buy is multiple layered to avoid being burned through the gloves. Whatever you choose they will have their limitations as others have stated. Thick gloves with the best dexterity is what you want. Try a few pairs on at the stores and you will notice the difference right away.

I sell welding equipment. If you want durable long lasting gloves get an elk skin glove. Elk skin will not get stiff like regular cow leather. In addition be sure you get gloves with a kevlar stitching that has fully welted seams. Check out www.jtillman.com They are the industry leader. I like the 850 gloves but there are lots of choices.

Welding gloves are OK, but a large pair of channel lock pliers do a fine job.Simple ingredients, amazing results!
