What do you use? What have you found that is needed. My better half bought me a weber grilling glove that has worn out and I need to purchase a new glove, either local or internet. What are your recommendations all.
Go to Harbor Frieght or Northern and get some cheep welders gloves. I got a 3 pack of gloves for $12.00, and gave one pair to a coworker that has a woodstove. Jeff
Actually, I don't use a glove very often, but I have gloves with my tools at both stoves. Poked a hole and added a little loop of heavy leather boot lace so I can hang 'em on the tool holders. When I do need one, it's mighty nice to have it right there. Rick
Usually not many flames while I am putting wood on!
I think they look like Santa Claus gloves.
In this case I would be Mrs. Claus though.
No, I am not keen on burning flesh either! Could really ruin an evening.
I use Lincoln Electric welder's gloves from the Home Despot. $15 or so. Placing wood by hand is so much better than using a log grabber. Anyway, I regularly stick my hands in a very hot firebox with these things with absolutely no problem. Think I'll buy another pair to stash in reserve. All the best!
I have long welder's gloves but don't use them as often as I probably should. I remember them when I smell the burnt forearm hair. By then it's too late to bother. lol
