Does anyone have some glove recommendations for handling rotisserie spits? Looking for some gloves that can handle high heat situations so when I take the spit off the grill and I have the spit in my hands... I don't feel much of anything.
I usually use either a pliers or a basic kitchen hot pad. The pliers (usually needle nose) are also handy for unscrewing the skewers that hold the meat in place. My rotisserie is on a Weber gasser and the "other" end (the one not in the motor) is wooden and needs no protection from heat.

I've tried a few gloves over the years but usually have troubles with the fingers being too narrow...guess mine are fat. With a firefighter in the family now I became aware of the Pro-Tech gloves. As a bonus, they come in many sizes!!! I use a Titan-K, and they are very well insulated, I suppose they have to be given their purpose. Not cheap though:
