About an hour ago I burn the sh*t out of my right hand making fajitas. Don't have plancas, but an excellent set of lodge cast iron. I was taking the small perfectly seasoned skillet that I was cooking the peppers , onions and shrooms off the top level of my 5 piece Eggspander and POW..... Mittens were dry and pretty new, maybe 3 months. Burned palm, knuckle pads and index finger bad enough to be having a couple of 8.5% DIPA .... The mittens are Weber ! I am so p*ssed that I am contemplating making a pile of Weber cr*ap at the curb, I mean anything I have that says Weber on it... Looking for recommendations on good grilling gloves, mittens are not dexterous enough, injury not withstanding ...

You will likely find more info that you will ever need right here thru the forum search function. Enter "grilling gloves" and sit back and read away.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I use welder's gloves that are elbow length. No problem handling anything plus protects forearm hair from back drafts.

Not sure of the brand, but I received a pair of blue gloves from my wife that she got from ACE. They look like super heavy duty cotton garden gloves. I will look tomorrow. They have been wonderful. Before that though I just used regular old oven mitts. Never had a problem removing platesetters or cast iron with them.Las Vegas, NV

just be careful that what you get will work in wet conditions. Many glove options work fine if everything is dry, but if wet…Southeast Florida - LBGE
In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -

Mitts were dry as a bone, the Weber gloves are in the trash bin. I used oven mitts from the kitchen last night to handle ripping hot lodge cast iron. No problem at all. Will get some gloves today, better dexterity with gloves.LG BGE, Weber Genesis gas, Weber 22" Kettle, Weber Smokey Joe

I use a pair of firefighter gloves. You can find them online at a fire company supplier. They are expensive (around $100). but they are designed to protect you from the heat. I can handle cast iron pans, platesetters, live charcoal without a problem.
If you have a relationship with your local fire department, you may be able to get a used pair for a relatively small donation.Lititz, PA – XL BGE

I had some ACE cash in my rewards. I bought a pair of Eggmitts and Lodge handle covers, like little sock pot holders. I should be fine nowLG BGE, Weber Genesis gas, Weber 22" Kettle, Weber Smokey Joe

Hard Core Carnivore sells a pretty nice set of grilling gloves. Keep an eye out, last year they went to half price for Black Friday, which made them about $10. A steal!
I've been able to pull my c.i. pan in and out of my Ooni without burnt fingers.
Also, gives you an excuse to watch vids of Jess Pryles cooking and she's sorta, kinda cute. -
