Best insulated BBQ gloves?

[SuperDave]

I'm a 2 glove guy.  Harbor Freight welding gloves for rack & pan handling and some rubber/silicone gloves for meat handling.  The meat gloves have no material to absorb stains and wash easily in the kitchen sink.

I have the same gloves Harvey101 linked to. They work good. When I did a chicken in the smoker I moved it to the gas grill (to crisp up the skin) with these gloves and the chicken drippings cause a large flame up while I was holding the chicken. I would have burned my hands or thrown my chicken off the deck had I not been wearing them. I also plan to take them camping this next summer where I believe they should be great for my cast iron cooking.

I have welding gloves for handling most things around the smoker and silicon if I need to be by the grill.

Same old Academy gloves going strong, almost 2 years in!  Lots of great glove choices out there, but this has been one of the best uses of $12 I've had!  The SI grills and meat are not hot enough to warrant welding gloves, or any "super high temp" gloves.  No problem with the cheap gloves!

I too use welding gloves for everything hot but not greasy and silicone for everything else.

texasBBQrub.com has a minimum order of $13. So you can't actually order the $12 gloves with free shipping without adding additional items to your cart. Just sayin... I have a pair of Steve Raichlen gloves from about 10+ years ago, and hate them. They are actually white (before the gray ones) and crazy stiff. Plus, WAY too big for a woman's hands. And I have relatively large hands and long fingers for a gal. I have since bought a pair of silicone gloves designed to fit women, and they are very soft and flexible, fit my hands better, and work great for taking things off the smoker, and the sometimes intricate work of pulling pork etc. Below is what I bought, but I'd love to hear any other suggestions for the ladies!

Those look like really nice gloves, Kari!  Good to see a recommendation for some designed to fit the women!  Thanks for the post!

Yeah, I don't know why companies think women want goofy polka dots and colors, but function over form I say. And they are kind of cute, although I'd prefer plain myself.

[DivotMaker]

Hehe.  Yeah, I guess polka-dots sell!    I know my wife would probably pick them over the plain ones!

Hey Tony, I purchased the gloves from TexasBBQ and really like them. Have used several times, also very easy to clean. I just use hand soap and wash with them on my hands just like washing my hands. I too found they had a limit on orders. So ordered their rub, the gloves are great their rub not so much. 

[DivotMaker]

Thanks Bill.  Good to know about their rub!

[elkins20]

I get the nitrate examine gloves at the V.A. usually can talk a Doctor or nurse into giving me a full box. Tony, if I knew then about the rub I would have purchased 2 pairs of gloves. But, was late and I heard bed calling my name.

[DivotMaker]

Bill, I buy medium-duty nitrile gloves, at Harbor Freight, for all my meat prep, but they're not heavy enough to handle the hot stuff (at least for me).

[elkins20]

Yes, that is what I use the examine gloves for just prep. I have the heavy gloves from TexasBBQ site to handle the hot stuff. Also I had a question for you posted on Rickne sale of his #3 in the for sale section of the forum.
