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.
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).
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.
Are the TexasBBQ gloves thicker or better than the Academy Sports version? I noticed the ones they have now are $10. I checked them out and wouldn't call them thick.
Not sure which gloves you are looking at but I purchased welding gloves from the depot a few weeks back for $14. I was on the kettle grill with the slow n sear and never felt anything, even with putting the fingers into the coals to move around when I dumped the chimney. But these may not be what you are looking for.
I did purchase the Black heat gloves from Academy and they work just fine for most hot applications short of actual "fire". Best part is they are easy to clean. While on your hands dip them in warm dishwater with soap and rub them up just like your washing your hand. Grab a paper towel and dry while they are still on and your done ...easy peasy
