Welder’s Gloves just as good as Fireplace Gloves?

Its maybe a couple miles north of the Gallaria mall, basically across the street from the Pok IBM plant.
How long are you all getting out of a pair of welding gloves?
Mine seem to shrink, shrivel up, and start looking like a weird monkey paw after 6 months or so. But I do get them right in the firebox pretty often.

I'm on year 2 w/ basically no wear on my welding gloves from lowes.
Are you getting yours wet? Water is hell on leather gloves.

+ 7 or 8 (or whatever we're up to) on the HF welders gloves.
Using gloves, I can move and place hot logs with complete control; as opposed to struggling with awkward tongs and tools (and the possible damage to $300 ceramic glass).

No, I don't get them wet but I do grab burning splits with them. They really work pretty well for that. I got mine from HD so maybe that's the problem

I have no problem with that. Real men, secure in their masculinity, can wear pink - no problem.

Year 3 . . . right handed welding glove looks almost new . . . left handed welding glove however could be replaced as it has a small hole or two in the first layer of leather.
One thing to think about is that these gloves must have asbetos (or something) woven into them in order to make them fire resistant.
I notice that when I've got my gloved hands in the fire box and pull them out, they are smoking. The smell of that smoke is not of firewood - something else - probably the material that the gloves are made of. I don't know what it is but I try to avoid breathing this smoke for fear of it causeing long term carsonagine risk.
Remember, we use HF welding gloves for something they are not intended. If it turns out that smoke IS a cancer hazard, HF, in court could state that the product was misused.
Just my thoughts.

Gases Plus, or your loca lwelding supply, is often cheaper on welding gloves than HF, and much better quality. Locally I can get Tilman gloves for about $3/pair; they work well. Long ones are a bit more but worth it if you also use them for welding. And they have slide-on sleeves that look like dr's scrubs, but are great to keep sparks from burning your arms (or clothes) when welding / torching / playing with stove.
