Best High Heat Gloves

Scottborasjr · March 2015

Been using welding gloves and have been fine, but just a question to the masses.

Jeremiah · March 2015

Here's some that @johnkitchens suggested in another post. I'm gonna order them as soon as funds allow. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PURH50G/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/176-4950508-6817747?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00

I love my high heat gloves from BGE. They are a year old and still no heat transfer. But my Ace Hardware has the same glove without the BGE logo for about $10 cheaper.

Bedbathandbeyond carries Ove gloves which are great just like the Pitt mitt or BGE gloves. They are like $15' a piece but I have had a pair of ove gloves for atleast 3 years. I put them on and stir red hot lump with my hand and its fine. BB&B also had a pair that felt the same material as the ove glove but stopped right where the wrist begins versus the ove gloves go a couple inches further but a pair of the others was only $10. I am going to get a pair for lifting hot clean things and keep the pair I have for stirring lump, pulling dirty accessories etc.

I really like gloves made for firefighting. They protect from heat really well, including in wet conditions. They are also pretty tough and last well.

+1 for the Ove Gloves. I carry cast iron frying pans fresh off the egg in the house with just a little heat making it thru.

I have the ones @Jeremiah linked. I like them, but @tarheelmatt posted some I think in that same thread with a higher cuff and higher heat rating. I'm on mobile so searching sucks so sorry no link.

I'm a firefighter and our gloves work great. I once saw a guy lifting a burned out bed frame and his gloves caught on fire. He didn't even notice that his hands were on fire! I just bought a pair of welding gloves off amazon. I use them to wok. The issue is that the heat sneaks up on you and you get burned quick. Go higher quality than I did

tarheelmatt · March 2015

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.

I liked the idea of the longer cuff for doing steaks, caveman, or even stoking fire.

mahenryak · March 2015

I ordered a pair of welding gloves at the same time I purchased my AR R&B Oval setup:

They're pretty nice but a tad bulky. I use some standard big box store gloves that can be had for $3 or $4 per pair for slow cooks and general setup / cleaning chores. I also have a set of meat gloves for handling just the protein, also ordered at the same time of my R&B purchase:

For REALLY hot conditions I have these gloves made for use in a steel foundry. They are rated to 2,100º. Only trouble is they are huge and not too flexible!

Don't know where I got my welders gloves, but they are so old, it was about 10-15 more years before Amazon even existed. Bought them way back when I heated my house, at least in part, with a wood stove. Briefly grabbing a burning log was no problem. Thing is, I hardly ever NEED gloves for the egg. On those rare occasions, my old welders are fine. As long as I'm quick about it.

Cool story bro.

I have both of those gloves that CGS sells. Welders were burnt so are really stiff in the fingers. I plan to get the gloves Matt linked.

I need a pair of these. Do you have a link for purchasing these gloves?

KennyLee · March 2015

I bought these from Lowe's several years ago when I got my Egg. They're cheap and I still have and use them and have been great for anything associated with the Egg, handling a hot grate, lifting out a hot plate setter, etc.

I bought tem maybe 12 years ago and I honestly don't remember nor do they have ant brand tag sewn in. I recall they came from a safety equipment supplier. Let me see if I can find something for you. BTW I have never used them and they are brand new!

Someday you will hit your growth spurt Ron and they will be just right.

Yeah, I don't really use the heavier welders gloves all that much--too bulky, as stated. For the most part I seem to get by with the el cheapo gloves that are not rated for high heat. I will definitely be looking to order something like the gloves tarheelmatt has linked to if/when I should order another pair.

HeavyG · March 2015

I have three types of gloves:

1 - 17" leather welder/bbq which I use when I am arranging coals or such and just am mainly concerned about blocking radiant heat from melting my skin or just grabbing a hot grill grate for a few seconds.

2 - fabric "Grill Heat Aid" brand long cuff fabric gloves which are excellent when needing to hold/carry hot cast iron pots and the like. These do a great job at blocking heat for more than just a few seconds. One caution though - they are porous so you want to be very careful around hot liquids.

3 - neoprene bbq pit gloves which are great when actually needing to handle hot food or reach into pots full of hot liquid

Are they safe in damp conditions, extended high humidity or momentary exposure to rain? Just thinking about summer BBQ conditions when its hot and humid for days with occasional downpours.

Not sure ,I just got them,however I have them stored in a plastic tote (small one). I wouldn't leave them outside though.

Those are the ones that I have. They are machine washable so a little rain or humidity won't harm them. If kept damp tho they might get a little moldy/stinky but a trip thru the washer/dryer would fix that.

I have 2 sets of the ones like @tarheelmatt has. They work perfect even when picking up white hot CI or the pizza stone or PS.

LOL - I hear you. The reason I posted the picture with the dollar bill is that a bill is essentially 6" wide so each glove is 6" wide. Now if I grow up to have palms 6" wide then I could play basket ball for sure...but wait...I'm already too old to do that now!

Chowman · March 2015

@Lit thanks for the tip about BB&B. I just bought a pair of Tuff Gloves for $10 good to 500f. Will wait for Father's Day for the welders gloves.

Too many good reviews. I'm going to have to pick up a set of these.

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?

blind99 · March 2015

I use pit mitts. I can lift out the grate, handle the plate setter, move lump around. They've been great. On sale they're less than $15 a piece.

patkline9999 · March 2015

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.
