I had and used one before I got my Woo. It worked like a charm I thought.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
Thanks @sgh. I guess my biggest concern is the pressure point when I lift it and causing it to break.

I use a pair of gloves like
These....
They work very well and keep your hands safe. But, either way (even w/ that tool) you'll need a pair of gloves try them out. You may find you don't really need this tool.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL -

I am paranoid of the pressure point causing cracking. Just my first thoughts. I could be wrong.

I use two of the BGE gloves. No fear on pressure points. And when I pull my plate setter, it is quickly set down on the concrete right next to my BGE table. I'm only pulling my plate setter at the end of a 250F smoke, when I'm switching over to a higher heat direct and I'm only holding the PS for maybe 15 seconds. I know someone on here talked about getting burned doing what I do, but I think they were using welder mitts, (not sure how much insulation they provide from direct contact), don't know how long they held their PS before setting it down, nor how hot their cook was right before pulling. The white gloves above, may be as good as my BGE ones for a lot less $, but that white won't stay that way handling hot smoky PS. My Black BGE ones don't show any signs of discoloration. >-Large BGE in a Sole' Gourmet Table

I have the same glove as @NPHuskerFL... they are worth every penny. Hands stay safe and no issues picking up hot grill parts.Long Island, NY

I use welding gloves. They work fine but you have like 5 seconds so have a place to set it on close.middle of nowhere- G.I. NE

I play Chernobyl hot potato with gloves. You have about 5 seconds if it's super hot, but that's plenty of time, just plan for a place to put it quick so you don't freak out and break it. Also, channel locks work just fine. I think I'll weld up one of those mothers, seems useful.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Will probably get one but realize will still need to put on my welders glove when I use it. I've done the 5 sec Chernobyl hot potato and it works fine but with a 5 year old red head running around I would hate to have an accident cuz I was hurrying. Hope everyone has a great week!

@NPHuskerFL. I hope you don't get your egg to 663 degrees.

I think much depends on your set-up. No question that gloves are needed no matter what you use when handling a large chunk of ceramic that is over 400ºC.For MBGE I have a place next to the egg to sit the hot setter on, so I use channel locks and my ash tool. If you are preheating a grid under the setter, suggest you have spacers between the setter and the grid making it easier to grip the setter.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

I'm in the "hold my beer and watch this" camp. I use 2 cheap pot holders from Target. I would not advocate duplication of this.

I use orka mittens, but like others said, pick and release asap on a predetermind landing spot.@skiddymarker, don't let the ash tool slipcanuckland

I have been using a pair of HellFire gloves to remove anything from the hot egg. They are awesome!
I just don't know about trusting that claw thing since even the description says be careful twisting.
I would definitely be concerned with lifting that expensive ceramic just on one side.

Lifter work great, for the price just pick one up.Sudbury, Ontario

I just use a pair of cheap welding gloves that I already had before I bought an egg. Be quick and have a nearby spot picked out.
Now I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to remember the last time I needed to do this.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
