Hearth gloves recommendation.

[Dmitry]

Prolly thinking too much into it. Burned my forearm a little, pushing logs all the way to back of the fire box on hot start. . Lot of welder gloves online. What you would recommend?

I used Welding Gloves I got at Yardsale. 2 Bucks for 3 pair of heavy leather ones.

This is what I run, I have had this pair for a while now, and I also keep a pair of these on my welder. They fix nicely. Probably a little overkill for what we use them for but I like them.

For what they'll be used for don't need nothing fancy. Standard cowhide welders gloves here. Something like this:

Premium Welding Gloves

Amazing deals on this Premium Welding Gloves at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.

Mine are 12"long. They work as intended.
Tcs and farm fleet have nice standard leather ones also.

I like to use black stallion #39 mighty MIG gloves they are softer and more flexible than standard welding gloves. They supply them at work and when they get grease on them we throw them away so I get them and wash the grease off and use them at home for work gloves

I have harbor freight cheapies. I think I paid something like $5 for them.

I had two pair . . . a cheap pair of welding gloves I purchased at the local True Value for every day use (although I need to replace those as they eventually developed a hole in a finger) and a thicker pair of true hearth gloves which I use when unloading the ash pan if it is still warm/hot.

Welding ones also, they almost reach my elbows

 

[Dataman]

Stay away from Cheap Ones. Hit any Estate Sales and if you must buy new get some heavy duty ones. Last forever.

 

[xman23]

Get long ones that go up to the elbow. Don't ask how I know.

Welding gloves are NOT created equal. Get good ones and you can pick up a burning log, get cheap ones and that same log will burn YOU. Just say’in....

These were 12$ They work but stink!! They smell like idk. Chemically. I left them on the hearth directly in front of stove. Once heated they really stink up the joint. There better now, assume it’s the off gassing from the tears of the Chinese children that probably made them.

They work well so far, haven’t had to grab a fully engulfed log, but walnut sized embers that make a break for the outside are painlessly tosses back in.

I got some Hobart welding gloves from the local tractor supply store for around $20. They are about 2 years old now, and show no signs of hard use. That's saying a lot because we burn wood 8 months a year. I'm still using them now, and I'm sure they will last all winter.

I've tried cheaper gloves and they just don't last that long, and they have much less protection from heat.

I like these gloves. They're a little pricy compared to some others, but they're thick and durable. My first pair is 5 years old and I'm still using them. I've used them for lead bullet casting, handling hot charcoal smoker parts and throwing splits into the wood stove. The only time I've felt an uncomfortable amount of heat was while using a charcoal chimney and accidentally grabbing the metal side after dumping hot charcoal... they're a little dirty but still good. I just bought a replacement pair and left them hanging in the garage because with my luck - by the time I need to replace them, they won't be available anymore.

With my Black Stallion gloves, I have reach in the stove and move hot logs around no problem. It is much easier than moving with tongs lol!
