BBQ Gloves

I just let my butts cool a little, the pulled them with plain old surgical gloves ( which I have boxes of as a medic)
 
I have some of the Steven Raichlen gloves. They can stand the heat but, they are too slick. The surface needed some texture.

I have a pair of these too. They are slick, makes cleaning them easy though.
 
I use a pair of cottom Jersey glove's from HD with a pair of XL Nitril gloves over them. I think you get 3 pairs for around $5 at HD, and I always have a box of food gloves around. They're great because the cotton absorbs the sweat and is a great barrier from the heat and you can still feel the texture of the meat.

Picked these up recently. I have very large hands. They fit these gloves, and the fabric lining helps with removing. They would likely accommodate a slightly larger hand.

They are slick, but that seems to be a common trait among these glove types

These are a winner for me. I hesitated to buy these gloves because they look so slick. Well, after using the rest and hating them, I picked up a pair about 2 months ago. These are the gloves to have.

The problem with some of the other gloves is that they hate heat. Hot foods, such as butts, can be handled with these gloves, but over a short period of time the fingers become brittle and crack. Once they crack you cannot pull hot butts.

Another problem with some of these gloves in the fuzz on the inside. It will not dry! If the insides get wet from washing them it takes an act of God to get these gloves dry. Even with a hair dryer blowing into them...

And lastly, they're hard to clean. The grip really holds onto foods.

The Steven Raichlen gloves have none of these characteristics. They're slick, yes, but so much easier to clean! And, they last. Already they've lasted 4x longer than any of the other gloves. These are the gloves to have.
 
I have a couple sets of gloves. I have the pvc dipped gloves that I received from an order when I got the sampler pack of Simply Marvelous.

I tend to use a pair of wool gloves and some nitrile gloves when handling meats off the smoker as well as for pulling pork/slicing brisket etc.
 
These work great.

Butterball (yeah, the turkey folks) sells a pair of heat resistant carving gloves. They usually have them at my Lowe's and Home Depot. I think they are about 10 bucks.

I don't have a pair - but they look at lot like my insulated BBQ gloves (the brand of which I cannot remember.) :-?
 
I use these.

Awesome idea man...you've solved a very big problem...no need to wash the nitrile and the wool gloves will keep my tootsies nice and happy, although they're so burned and damaged from BBQ it almost doesn't matter :mrgreen::mrgreen:

I got the idea from different members on this forum. I used to use the long Dexter/mortician looking gloves, but you just dont get the same finger dexterity or feel of the wool glove with nitrile over top of it.
