Woodstove Glove recommendations?

[MasterMech]

I have a pair of long leather gloves that work okay, but have felt some heat a few times. So the next time I buy a set I am going to get something that can handle a lot of heat. I am still looking around, but noticed these.

We use those at work. The guys routinely handle 500 deg + metal and I will tell you that they buy some time but you're gonna feel the heat after more than a few seconds.

Go to your local welding supply company and get leather welding gloves

I had ordered these from harbor freight. I saw the recommendation on here somewhere ....So far they are perfect, the wife loves them.

I have a pair of welding gloves that the cuffs reach almost to the elbow. With them I can carry the hot ash pan out to the garden and just start to feel the heat.

I've used these for years. Get a dark colored glove, she might not like the white one's looking dirty after the first use, and I'd imagine the kevlar type gloves end up getting splinters stuck in the fiber

Stay away from TIG welding gloves they aren't much more than fancy long drivers glove

Since I work for a glove manufacturer and they dip these here in Menlo, Georgia, I use these.

I got a pair of gloves, similar to the above links, from our local Canadian Tire store when I got my F3CB 6 years ago. I must admit, it was without doubt, one of the best $20 purchases I have ever made. More than once, I have had my hands deep inside the stove, hovering over red-hot coals, desperately trying to get an 19 inch stick inside and turned in an 18 inch space. The only time it got uncomfortably hot, was when I absentmindedly tried to pick up the "log fence" to get a fat stick in. I let go pretty quickly, as well as scared the blazes out of the dog with my colourful choice of adjectives. The wife gave me a rather stern look, but no long lasting damage to my hands.

I miss Canadian Tire.

I have found that the wood stove gloves they sell near the stoves are clumsy. I know they may just need to be broke in but that could take a long time.

I use the gloves that came with my arc welder. Very supple for heavy duty gloves. Maybe check the welding equipment part of a good hardware store.

I have become religious about using the gloves now. I get better wood placement and I'm not banging around on the firebricks and secondary tubes.

It's just one of many things that I learned from this forum.

I'm cheap! I just use Fire Dept issue.

And how would one acquire a pair of fire dept issue gloves if your not on the fire department?
