Hello Ladies and Gents,
Just curious here about exactly what the temp would be of a platesetter when the egg is at a dome temp of 250ish. Just wondering what rating I would need in a pair of gloves to handle a hot platesetter.
TIA

The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

I don't know the temp but I use welding gloves from Harbor Freight. I have a safe place picked out before I remove the PS and I hold it for seconds and thats it.

At 250 it’s not bad if you google Pitt mitt they work pretty well. I pulled a pan pizza out of the egg that was running at 550 and the gloves didn’t work against the cast iron skillet. Blisters are almost gone. The gloves worked for 5-7 seconds probably at 550.

At 250 my heavy welding gloves were fine, I pulled my plate setter out when I had a small 'incident' while doing a high temp burn and they lasted about 12 seconds. got a nice round spot in the grass where I had to ditch it before I got to my resting spot.
Im on the hunt for new gloves so Ill be watching.

I've always used welding gloves, but they get non pliable after a while. Once the current pair and backup pair are done I'm trying these:

Now, if you REALLY want to go in harms way you can buy these "foundry worker" gloves which are rated to like 2,400º then these I bought many years ago are what you want! Needless to say these may not fit your hands any more than they didn't fit mine!!!

I would guess that the underside of the PS is seeing upwards of 600-700 *F heat from the lump and that number can move (likely upward) based on distance from the fire. Get good welding gloves or stop by your local fire-house and ask what gloves they wear.If you want to go in a slightly different direction, get a PSWOO from the ceramic grill store that makes PS removal quite quick. Wherever you land make sure you have the PS landing zone close aboard and ready to receive before you start the evolution. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.

I have these or something extremely similar. Someone here on the forum alerted us to a $5 sale at one point. These work awesome for the plate setter, grates, etc. You feel invincible wearing them. . . until. . . you use them to pick up your finished turkey or butt and hot juices soak through and burn you!

Use a platesetter lifter from Smokeware. Gloves are great for short contact. But things sometimes go awry.LBGE/Weber Kettle/Blackstone 36" Griddle/Turkey Fryer/Induction Burner/Royal Gourmet 24" Griddle/Cuisinart Twin Oaks/Pit Boss Tabletop pellet smoker/Instant Pot

The Ove' Glove Works great!

I have some thick thick insulated leather welding gloves. Have lasted years and outside too.
I can scoop burning lump from one egg to another with no issues. Ive even taken burning logs from a fire and moved them around.

I ended up having to use my old welding gloves. They worked ok, but I didn't hold the PS very long. I could feel the intense heat creeping up through the gloves. I should have shot the temp of the bottom side while I was at it, but didn't.The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.
