Any recommendations on which brand gloves to get, or perhaps more importantly which ones to avoid if they can't take the heat when lifting out a hot PS?

I have a ~$12.00 pair bought from Amazon that work great. They all look about the same. I don't think you'll go wrong.

regardless of what gloves you get, before you grab a hot plate setter always have plan on what you want to accomplish and where you are going to place it. Gloves do help mitigate the heat, but at some point the heat will migrate into the glove and get hot fast.

agree with @mkline 100%. I've been able to hold on to a hot plate setter for about 4-5 seconds before it got too hot. I keep a square of travertine tile on my egg so I can set it down quickly.

Along with the gloves... Get a Woo. Makes moving the plate setter so much easier

There is a place in Canada called Dickson BBQ that makes a special plate setter lifter.

I tried welders gloves and first try was without a good plan. Someone on the forum recommended "The Ove Glove" so I bought 2 and they are really good. I won't say you can hold a platesetter for a long period of time but they are good enough to get it to where you need to set it down.

I bought these at a welding supply store, $9.25 they work good, which means about 4 seconds

I was told by someone why would you want to remove the PS or pizza stone.
Changing what you want to cook that's why.
Then burn your digits once . Spend good money and get good gloves. Gauntlet welder gloves protect while flippn' you meat, not much else.
Ask a welder how long he holds on to a piece of HOT steel. Not long.
You'll learn, I did. Sorry to preach.

My Mom gave me these many moons ago. She got them from LL Bean. I used them to move hot firewood around in the fireplace. They are insulated and I can move anything hot around at will - including the platesetter. I scoff at the fire gods ..........Milton, GA.

My red Lodge brand welding gloves work great. They are well seasoned and do what they need to do. I use my gloves to open the egg anytime a burp is necessary ... saves your forearm for the unexpected flash (that's right ... I do not have a 100% burping streak)My buddy was using a pair cheaper pair with a liner in them - the liner pulled out every time he took his hand out of one of them.As said above - know where you are going with your hot plate and get it there quickly.
-
If you know a Fireman ask him for an old pair of his gloves, that's what I did and they work great.
-
I have an old pair with no label that work OK, but decided to get a second pair (I invariably leave the gloves inside after bringing food back inside after a cook). Bought a cheap brown pair marked "Western Electric" (can't remember where).Almost a complete waste - only last a few seconds as opposed to the old one which would last 10+ seconds.South SLO County

The pair I received from the CGS work great of course I haven't had a fire over 500 degrees yet. I just lift the plate setter out and place it on 2 bricks next to the BGE.Charlotte, Michigan XL BGE

We get the plain fireplace gloves from HD or the fireplace/grill shop. Can't remember but I think they're about $14 bucks.
Very long cuff and well insulated liner, all leather. They work great. Certainly well seasoned but I can still pick up the hot ps, meat, grate and get it to where ever I'm going.Nashville TN 2 LBGE's and counting -
I put on a pair of jersey gloves, then the welder gloves, gives you a little more time!!
