    I got these Hot work gloves from our plant. They are used in our lab and the calciner operators are issued a pair. I need to get another pair, right thumb has a small hole. They really withstand the heat, though. 1023210808.jpg

    I rarely use gloves while adding firewood to the stove.

    If its that hot, wait awhile before you add wood.

    Or.......

    Your hands/skin will "toughen up" over time. It make take some of you city dwellers a little longer, but trust me, they'll get tougher.

    Usually by spring, they have reached their "peak" in heat proof tolerance.

    I bought a 2 pack of cheap welding gloves from a farm supply store shortly after I started heating with wood. Don’t think they have any brand name and don’t know where they were made. I usually only use the right hand one, and even then it is only on a couple minutes 3-4 times a week in the heating season so I should be set for quite a while. They do what I need em to, I can’t justify spending big $$$ for Snap On, or LL Beans

    I use my grilling gloves when I need to get in the stove if it's hot, since they are gauntlets and protect my arms, I think they are made in the USA. Extra-Long Suede Gloves

    Otherwise, I just use a pair of leather work gloves for quick reloads.
