Gloves

[nmhuntr]

Just getting started smoking meat and I want a pair of gloves that work but I don’t want to spend more than makes sense. What gloves do you use? If I need to spend $30 then so be it but there are hundreds of options and I am just looking for some first hand experienc’


Thanks

" The Ove glove"... $16 on Amazon. Just keep in mind though, these gloves will NOT protect you from steam burns.

I just use a pair of cheap welding gloves.

I just put on a pair of cotton gloves then a pair of nitrile over them. Works great. Disposable and you still have complete control with your hands which is a big issue with the thick rubber gloves

The OvGlove for me too. Just don't get them wet and then pick up something hot. When they need it, just throw them in with the wash.
I don't pick up food with them, just hot metal.

If you have a restaurant supply house in your area you can buy a 100 pair count box of nitrile gloves for about $12.50. They have the cotton gloves as well.

Really depends on the purpose of the glove. I use wedges gloves to handle hot fire boxes, shelves , chimney etc. For handling raw meat I use nitrile gloves.

I use a pair of black lined rubber glove. I've seen them at both lowes and home depot in the BBQ dept...
I think I paid $10 or $12 for them. I also bought another pair and use those strictly for mixing sausage grind to get the bind. They will keep your hands from freezing, and the meat paste will not pull the gloves off your hands like nitrile...

Like said above, it depends on what you are using the gloves for. There is no glove that will handle hot fire, food prep, hot food handling. You really need 3 different style gloves.

I have a pair of Pit Mitt gloves that I always use for anything hot. They work great. I also use nitrile gloves for raw meat handling.

My current gloves for handling hot cookware/grill racks and such have seen better days.
I was searching for glove suggestions here and decided to try the 'Ove Gloves', I chose their steam proof model which is only a few bucks more.
I'll review them at some point.
