I bought a pair of these and they're working great for me, but I don't grab burning wood with them, so not sure how long they'd hold up to that.

Who said they were doing that? Maybe you jumped to a conclusion.

I got these after I tried welding gloves. Much much better. http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/38683?page=fireplace-gloves
These are made by Dupont I believe and my neighbor gets them from his shop. Made with Kevlar it says and they work very well for stove play.
I am a welder and blacksmith so I have many pairs of different leather gloves in the smitty shop and these things will outlast and do more than any of them in regards to fire and stove work. I can reach in and grab a softball size glowing coal without feeling it or any damage to the gloves. They last a long time and can be thrown in the wash to clean.
Leather shrinks and gets really stiff with heat - these do not.
