Good morning all, can anyone recommend a good oven type glove that can take the heat of a hot smoke box? thanks
 
Yeah welders gloves for sure. I use em. Got a buddy who runs a welding shop. You can get em at places like Menards, try Home Depot, I've also had them at Northern Hydraulics. Places that sell tools, compressors, tires etc. Get out the yellow pages. Make a few calls for availability and price. ALSO be sure to find out what temp they insulate up to. Sometimes a couple extra bucks for a few more hundered degrees of protection is worth it.
 
My brother-in-law got me a pair from where he works and they will get hot if you hold onto the cast iron box for any length of time. And then... they just don't cool off very fast, so be ready to pull your hands out! They didn't have a temp range on them, but they are welders gloves.
 
Yep , the pair of welders gloves I have are like the fireplace gloves for the woodstove at camp. Give you several seconds of time , plan ahead and have a safe place to set the hot thing down on , then take the hot glove off

Not sure of how much they can take; but the Neopreme BBQ gloves at WalMart look tough enough. I'd say a pair of Channel Lock pliers might be handy? Or a pair of Fire Place Tongs. Semper Fi from Sedalia, MO a damp part of MO right now and Happy Smoke Rings.
 
We bought the RON POPIEL rosterrise, and they came with a set of silicon heavy duty gloves that werks wonders.........and they don't really transfer the heat into the gloves............
 
Beat me to this! Channel locks are great for grabbing the rim of the chip box. having graduated to a stick burner, I just use the double thick work gloves from HD. Will protect long enough to pick up a glowing coal and chuck it back in, but the the glove comes off fast!
 
I use welders gloves purchased from Harbour freight an tool, smooth leather glove an suede uppers, work well, but ya wanta plan ahead fer where yer puttin that hot box.
 
the wife bought me a pair of gloves called the oveglove bought them in some specialty shop for about 10 bucks apiece i think but ive seen them in walmart and k mart to . i like em think they work pretty well but still use the channel locks on the cast iron wood box.

Yep. 3 pair for $7.99 at Harbor Freight. I have two pair, and I'm still tempted to stock up and buy me 3 more.

Big Lots used to carry some. $5 a pair.
 
I guess I'm a bit of a yuppie, but I got a grill mit at Williams-Sonoma. Seems to work great! Very well insulated. Not recommended, but had to pick up a burning log that rolled out and didn't feel the heat inside the glove at all.
 
Being a volunteer firefighter, I brought home my old firefighting gloves when we were issued new ones. They work great. Of course I sent then through the wash a few times. Try stopping by you local fire department and see if they have any gloves lying around...worth a try!
 
I have welding gloves that I use for handling most things but now that I'm doing bigger things (butts and brisket) I'd really like to have gloves like the one's Walking Dude said he has. I don't like touching the cooked (or still cooking) meat with the welding gloves. I've found two pair on Amazon that look just like the one's he's talking about. I think I'll be ordering one of these soon.
