i had a pair of hestra job gloves that I really liked. I got through a season of heavy use with them. I bought them at a sample sale, but use these things for handling wood, smashing hammers, beating up rose bushes, and dragging around broken up concrete.

I also have a pair of these, that I am just starting to wear through after a season,

The fingers will always wear out. Because of that, it's hardware store cheapo's for me. When the fingers get thin I wrap them in duct tape and then when that wears through they get tossed for a new pair. I usually go through one pair per season.
see my signature line :)
 
A bunch of folks post Grainger Supply when gloves for various purposes are discussed on a thesmokering.com, a BBQ web site I frequent. I've never ordered anything from there.

LOTS of gloves. These show up, if you click on the category that includes "lumber industry."

Lots of stuff at Fastnal as well. If you have one of those nearby. If looked specifically for gloves there but no the carry a lot of safety equipment for the construction industry. They sell retail. Kevin
 
Over the years we've use a variety of gloves. Can't really recommend a good pair but have made good use of duct tape to wrap finger tears to prolong glove life.

One recommendation is use use a dab of hand lotion when you take the gloves off cause it's easier to maintain good hands before they get chapped.

If you’re talking about gloves for Loading the stove, I use welding gloves. Lasted for years so far.

Gloves for splitting and stacking....haven’t found a pair yet that will last more than a cord or two. I but the cheap $5 leather pair at the local hardware. Works just as well as the $20 pair.
