Bbq Gloves

What are you guys using around the grill?  My BGE gloves are wearing out.

Premiala makes a great heat resistant glove, move hot CI even a plate setter. Sold by Amazon.

note, not for handling wet/hot food.

I don't remember the last time I used/needed gloves.

Generally I just grab a couple pair of huge tongs, or a combo of spatula and tongs, or spoons, or channel locks.  My robotic appendages are infinitely variable and I am converted to a human controlled robot, impervious to pain from heat.  But I use my organic appendages to slurp cold adult beverage, because that's how I EFFIN ROLL.

Harbor freight welding gloves. Maybe 8-10 dollars and when they get nasty, repeat. I’m with Nola too. Good tongs or channel locks used upside down

I use cheap gloves. Academy has good cheap BBQ gloves. I like them because they are long. If doing pizza long gloves are a blessing.

Anybody use the Dragon's Knuckle gloves yet.  I've see videos of people holding onto burning charcoal with them...….figured I'd let someone else try it first.

For me there are a couple everyone needs. First is either good insulated welding gloves or the newer knit type high heat gloves. Second is the cotton gloves used in combo with the nitrile gloves over top. I don’t want to be handling hot food etc with my knit or welding gloves and visa versa.

i also have some of the rubber gloves for handling meats coming off the egg they work great.

I use heavy welding gloves that I got on Amazon, they work great and have lasted a long time (still going strong).

Amazon sells the 900F+ models. Get the black ones. They don’t show the crud.

Go to your local fire equipment store, and buy a pair of firefighter gloves (look for sales). Or make friends with your local fire department, you may be able to get a used pair.

They protect from heat even wet.  Many of the high heat knit gloves will pass hot liquid right through even though you can handle very hot items with them if that item is dry.  Only issue with fire fighting gloves is the cost.

Haha yes indeed.  Steam is not your friend.

Another vote for cheap welding gloves.  They’re too handy to not have.  Great for the egg, fireplace, etc

I have a single welding glove to use when I want to avoid arm hair singe, other than that I use some silicone gloves I got on Amazon which are good for handling the proteins and cookware.  Leather gloves aren’t the best for handling briskets and butts so the silicone gloves definitely come in handy for meat handling.

I've been really happy with Pit Mitts...but I'm pretty sure they won't protect from hot liquids.

I too have Pit Mitts, plus a couple other pairs which are comparable with lesser known brand names which I received as gifts. Otherwise when it is bitter cold outside I prefer the solid hard scilicone pairs since they slip on and off easily whereas the woven mitts have tight wrist collars and are a pita.
