I use leather gloves from a welding supply store.
They are called "Iron Mike" gloves. Actually just
a good, heavy leather & cloth work glove. I use
them to pick up pieces of charcoal and move them
around, and to pick up my chimney lighter to dump
it on the grill. After a year or so, the heat hardens
up the leather, and you might want to replace them.
They are cheap enough, though.

That brings up a good question. I have seen these silocone-like oven mits on
Food Channel once before on Alton Brown's show, I believe. They look pretty
nice, something that would be easy to clean or wash. I did a little
searching on the internet to see if I could find some. Maybe I using the
wrong search term but I had no luck.

Has anyone used these gloves before? Do you recommend them? Anyone know
where they can be purchased?

Thanks,

Scott

search for silicone oven mitts
not "silocone"

They CAN be effective for temps below 300F. I don't think I'd use them for
grill or 'Q.

My wife found one for me at one of those fancy mall cookin' stores...I think
she paid around $20 for one mitt. I wouldnta paid that for a silicon mitt,
but it was my birthday. works great .
