What gloves do you use?

[SoCal Chris]

i'm try to find a good type of glove to use while barbecuing/smoking. I am familiar with the leather welder-type gloves but what I would like is wheat resistant silicone (or some type) glove that I can grab the meat without burning my hands or grossing out my guests. I see a lot of the pros using gloves like this but don't know what they are or where to get them.

I have these from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HLPXL80/?tag=amazi0a8-20 but I started using food safe disposable gloves over my PBC gloves recently.

Others will chime in I hope, but I'll give you my story. I have struggled with gloves for some time. Tried regular cheap white Nitrile kitten gloves for a while, then my welding gloves. Not good for handling food as you know.

Then I finally got a set of these things. What a horrific experience I have had with these. When greasy, they are sooooo slick you can't even open the lid. Dropped a whole brisket one time:

Then I found these Nitrile glove liners. They work great:

I use them under what I consider the best Nitrile glove I have ever found:

They are so good in fact, I did a comprehensive review on these gloves found here:

Hope this helps.

Come on Chris - man up and reach in there and grab that burnin' log. You don't need no stinkin' gloves.

But seriously, I use something like these for handling hot meat. I don't know the brand - they came out of the bargain bin at Cabela's for less than $10.

And I have collected a number of nomex gloves over the years for use with hot grates, pots and whatever. Similar to these.

I use the same thing fuzzydaddy posted a link for. They are ok can feel the heat through them if your carrying any thing for a small distance, and not fun getting off if your hands are wet

I buy black nitrile gloves and wear them over a cheap pair of those stretchy polyester gloves that fit tight and are only about $1.99 at walmart. They insulate your hands enough from the heat and the nitrile gloves keep them clean and also are sanitary for handling meat.

Me, too.

RonB - That's why I'm looking for gloves. I'm tired of burning my hands because I was not prepared with the right equipment. So far, my procedure has been to grab the red hot meat with my bare hands and then grab a cold beer. This technique works but leads to warmer beer than I would prefer.

As a long time brewer, Brother, this is what we call full circle knowledge!

I never touch the meat on the grill with my hands. I use tongs to turn over most smaller items and bear claws if I have to rotate something large which I haven't had the need to do very often. I use these when working on the grill setup or making adjustments.

Somehow, I'm still dumb enough to have actually burned my arm above the end of the gloves. *smh*

LIke you, I use tongs and bear paws. I have yet to think I want to move 175F meat around with my hands inside a 250 degree cooker. I've got the same grill gloves, too .... haven't burned my arms ABOVE the gloves though.
