High heat gloves

Kentucky Wildcat Fan

I'm looking to buy a pair of good high heat gloves since i recently burned a hole through my green egg oven mitt. Could I get some recommendations?

Get a pair of welding gloves from your local hardware store. Not pretty, but work well!

If they fit your hands, "Orca" silicone mitts are very good for heat resistance, and forearm protection. I had one, but my hands were too large, and I couldn't really get a good grip.

"OV gloves" work pretty well, but I did singe the fabric pretty good one time.

So I went back to welders' gloves. The guy I work with recommends fireplace gloves, which go almost to the elbows.

perfect time of year - stock up on fireplace gloves at your local hardware store. I usually buy 3-4 pairs every spring for around a buck each.

I'd find a local welder's supply store and get a pair of welder's gloves. I use mine for lots of things including cooking, picking up hot logs in my outdoor fireplace to scooping up piles of live crawfish before they go into the boil! (I got tired of having my hands cut up). They are really versatile gloves.

+1 on the welders gloves, they are cheap and work great.

I went to the local Harbor Freight store and got 3 pairs for $10.

I'd go with the welders gloves. Mine cost about $12.00 and they work great.Good luck,Randy

The welder's gloves I have don't help at all. Maybe because I went cheap.

I'm thinking about getting some of these:

I would go with a more expensive pair like what you are looking at in the link, especially if you are planning on picking up hot objects. Mine were around $30 or $40 but that was probably 7 or 8 years ago. As you can tell they will last if you buy good quality plus protect you better.

I have a pair of Lodge gloves for when I have to move my Dutch ovens or removing the lids. They are pretty much the same as welding gloves.

I also bought a BGE glove when I was at the mothership. It is pretty much the same as the as seen on TV "Ove Glove". http://www.target.com/Ove-Glove-Hot-Surface-Handler/dp/B001HIGAMQ

It's nice because it gives you much better dexterity than the welding gloves. Just don't get it wet because the moisture turns to steam which goes right thru the glove.

I took a BBQ school and the guy teaching it had some thick rubber gloves for taking BBQ (briskets, pork butts, etc) off the smoker. I asked him about them and he said that they were just thick chemical gloves from the feed and ranch store.
