Stove Gloves ?
hey guys
can anyone recommend a good pair of stove gloves. Greg suggested welding gloves and harbor freight - definite good deal on gloves there so am going with that unless any other suggestions. Seems under 20 bucks is very doable. anyone got any other things to look for in terms of material / thickness /price etc.
thanks in advance

I just picked up a pair of regular old fireplace gloves at Aubuchons Hardware forget what I paid for them but it wasn't much.
My dad used these for his wood stove and loves them.

Unless you plan on pickin up the red hot coal with your hands.

Galeton (in PA) sells a nice variety of High Temp gloves including ones good for 1500*F!!! (use in foundries and such):

I use the insulated Neoprene ones... You can literally stick these in the deep fryer. Ashes wash off too.

Guys ,
thanks so much for all suggestions - that's quite a collection to choose from - much appreciated ! Good to see these are all very affordable.
Don't plan on picking up coal so any of the suggestions look like they will work well. When I load the hopper on a hitzer503, there are crumbs of coal that can prevent a good seal so I use my current 3 dollar sears gloves to brush these off the hopper ledge but I suspect they are wearing a little thin with the repeated exposure to heat. I tried a fireplace brush but it was not designed for that much heat - ideally I need a heat resistant small brush.
the other thing I use is a think poker for aeration and at one end it glows so I just want to make sure that heat doesn't make it to my hands.
thanks again !

At HarborFreight, you can find some brass, SS and steel wire brushes.. some are small like toothbrushes, some are a bit larger.. but there is a selection.. The SS and Brass bristles are rather soft, so they do work well as a small broom or dust brush..

hey Greg - thanks a lot. They have a ton of brushes on there !
I think this one will work well -

it's brass one end and steel on the other and will get into the corner of the hopper mouth where the crumbs tend to hang out.
appreciate the suggestion

That's a very small brush, it's only 1/8" wide,, but maybe that is all you need.?
Best of luck..
