HIGH Heat Glove Recommendations?

I have these and absolutely love them. I can grab a 500F grill grate with them (not a good thing to do, but happens). Plus, they say Jim Beam on them. What's not to love?

Have tried several pairs of welding glove in the past. With a really cheap pair burned my hand before I could lift it more than a couple of feet. With a $30 pair I could feel the heat after just a few seconds.

With these new gloves have not felt one bit of heat. Could probably hold for more than 30 seconds if needed. I also saw the the reviews about them not working well with steam or if they get wet. I think that is a common complaint with cloth type gloves. Those with a silicon outer shelf most likely are what you need if your gloves are going to get wet. Good luck on your search.

I have (1) of those gloves. It was a gift and apparently I only rated one glove. I also use it to place and remove my charcoal basket out of a UDS. I did that one time after washing it and it got hot really quick and I could not get it off my hand fast enough, so yeah getting it wet rendered it useless. Having said that I like the glove and should really get another one but I have welding gloves that get retired to live out their golden years as a pit mitt on a regular basis.

As far as my grate lifting tool goes, it was a piece of scrap galvanized flat stock that I had in my shop. I know, I know, the fact that it is galvanized will have some on this board clutching their pearls so you may want to avoid galvanized anything. Anyway I just bent it in a bench vise by hand until it would fit and wedge it's self into the grate and give me a way to lift the grate safely. It is not very sexy but it works and I use it to scrape the grate for cleaning as well as hang it from a convenient location without getting anything gunked up.

I got mine at Northern Tool. They come 2/3 up to my elbow and I don't feel any heat through them, but I only handle burning wood and my fire box. Not a super hot piece of steel. Good luck, Joe.

Do you by chance have a link to the ones you got?

Thanx!
