Hello all!!
Well, I did my first cooking on my BGE XL....all I can say is, WOW!
I was experimenting last night with different veggies and a grass fed ribeye....yum!
However, I found out the hard way, that my leather grill gloves I had were quite insufficient for the high heats that the BGE XL can generate.
I was changing out the plate setter and the grill grate back and forth, and I got a nasty burn on my right thumb, it is a bit blistered there today.
OUCH!!
Glad I'd had a few adult beverages last night, or guessing it would have hurt a bit worse initially.
That being said, I'd read about getting Welding Gloves to handle things at high heat. I ran down to Lowe's this morning, and all they had were what appeared to be MIG Welding gloves, and from what I read, these aren't for handling the higher heats, like hot metals and stuff you get with a "stick welder".....
I got a pair to use of those as that they were better than what I had...but I want to get *REALLY* good high heat gloves.
I don't know anything about welding, so, not sure what to look for online for them.
I'm hoping some of you out there might could give me key words for searching, maybe some good brands and even better...links to what you think are the best and safest for handling very hot things like you deal with on a BGE ceramic cooker.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Links?
Thank you!!!

ps. doing a pork shoulder I marinated all last night...started with a Bobby Flay inspired marinade, but I added in some of the Redd's Wicked Mango drink I found recently to make it a bit more caribbean influenced. So far....should be good. More on that later.
