I've been using there really long black leather ones that say "Steve Raichlen" on them ..work great and also protect my forearms from the burned hair syndrome. 

I've had a pair of them for many years and like them. They were starting to get warn so I ordered a new pair and they are too small for my hands (I have big hands). I spoke with the company but they only make one size and it is smaller now than it used to be.  Too bad because I also liked the long sleeves for arm protection.

Not sure about the best, these are the ones I bought recently and they work well. Been removing CI pans, grates, platesetter,and whatever else hot with no issues.

Strange set of reviews on Amazon. Most people love these gloves, but there are still a number that said they didn't protect from the heat for more than a few seconds.  Do they really protect your hands for a reasonable number of seconds?

I have removed a CI pan from the Egg at around 450 to 500 ° and walked it into the house. I was starting to feel some warmth,but I thought that was a pretty good test. I have also removed the second tier with no issues along with adjusting the new CI griddle. 

Temping steaks on the grid is easier now too.

I use these welding gloves from Amazon and they've been fine:

For handling butts and anything else I use these chemical gloves from Harbor Freight:

FWIW I read the 'comments' from a representative from the company regarding two negative reviews I came across on Amazon.  One remark indicated that if the gloves get wet then the heat is going to transfer faster.  No getting around this fact.  The other was basically a request for more information stating its possible it was a factory defect and to contact for a return.

I have these and have burnt my hand on a really hot cast iron pan. Don't hold it for more than five seconds or you will be dancing.

Hmm...  I think I'll exercise my right to change my mind and hold off purchasing for a while.

@Shiff they protect long enough to pull a 500℉-800℉+ CI pan out and walk it inside. I've never had an issue. Opinions are like Aholes everybody has one and that's just my opinion. I like em enough to have bought 2 pair for myself and another for a gift.
