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 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.

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