Gloves?

Get some welding gloves works great for that.

+1 on the welding gloves. Lowe's or Home Depot will have them if you don't have a good mom and pop store that carries them

I tried these gloves for handling wood, not for splits in a hot stove.
Sofar I have cut, split , and stacked, more than two cords, with very little wear.
Positive grip, on splits and saw.

PS I thought because of the price, 3 for 5$ dollars they would be a pos. I was wrong!

Welding gloves. Also work great when tending BBQ.

We get the cheap welding gloves from Home Cheapo and they last for several years. We always use the gloves when putting wood in the stove.

I will have to remember that

Cheap welding gloves from any hardware store will work for most uses . . .

That said . . . I was given some nice, insulated gloves from a local stove shop after they came one year to our Fire Prevention Week Open House. Those are nice for when I'm handling something that is wicked hot like an ash pan . . . or cast iron frying pan after it's been on the coals for awhile.

Harbor Freight welding gloves, three pairs for ten bucks. Also useful for the smoker and grill. Still on the first pair for the stove, another all black and greasy from cooking, and a new pair in reserve.
