RAPICCA Welding Gloves for Men, 932°F Fireproof Leather, 16in Blue

I bought these RAPICCA 16-inch fireplace gloves to use with my Weber barbecue, mainly for handling the chimney starter, hot coals, and charcoal baskets, and I have been really impressed with them so far. The first thing I noticed was the heavy-duty feel of the thick cowhide leather and the rugged stitching. They feel like proper protective gloves rather than thin BBQ mitts. The extra-long length is a big plus, as it gives me much more peace of mind by protecting my wrists and forearms from stray sparks, ash, and radiant heat.I used them while getting the coals ready in my Weber Rapidfire chimney starter and then tipping and distributing the hot coals into the Char-Baskets while cooking a beer can chicken. They did a great job of blocking the heat from the flames and coals, and I had no problem gripping my barbecue tools while wearing them. They are thick gloves, so you do lose a bit of fine finger dexterity, but for barbecue, fire pit, fireplace, or chimney starter use, I would much rather have the extra protection.One word of caution: I would not treat these as magic gloves for holding glowing hot metal, hot ash, or open flames for long periods. They are excellent for quick adjustments, moving hot barbecue parts, handling logs, or dealing with the chimney starter, but prolonged direct heat will eventually come through. Used sensibly, though, they are excellent gloves and exactly what I wanted for safer outdoor cooking.

These BBQ gloves have been a great purchase. They provide excellent heat protection, so I can move hot coals around and work over the grill without worrying about burning my hands or singeing the hair on my arms. They fit comfortably, give me enough grip to handle tools safely, and make cooking over the barbecue much more enjoyable. They’ve held up well after several uses and give me much more confidence when grilling. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone who enjoys cooking on the BBQ.

Big in size but nice but suitable for hot temperatures. Glove comes up to elbow and are thin enough to know what you’re picking up but thick enough to withstand heat.

Best gloves we've had so far. Our log burner throws out up to 9Kw heat and these gloves have handled the heat really well. Previous sets of gloves have burned through rapidly . These are solidly made and give full protection up the wrist. Highly recommended

Good quality.

Novice welder, but I thought these were good quality. I feel protected.

Good quality fireproof gloves. Easy to put on and they fit great. I like that these are longer than our previous ones, so they cover wrists/some forearm too. Perfect for using with our log burner.

As a female - I find these a bit cumbersome - but they do their job and the quality is good too.

I bought these for grilling. I previously had a BBQ mitt that someone gave me that was part of a new BBQ set as a gift. However, the BBQ mitt that came with the set caught on fire when I accidentally got too close to the coals. Ha. I knew that I needed something better. So I bought these. These gloves are much better. They can withstand serious heat with no detectable damage to the glove or to myself. The fit is great. No odor. They are definitely heavy duty.

Los uso para la barbacoa y perfectos. Puedes poner la mano encima de las brasas sin quemarte. El tamaño es correcto (tengo un tamaño de mano mediano)

Super, sehr gut fpr Ofen und Grill

These work. Full stop.Okay, details :) I cook over lump charcoal in a kamado style ceramic cooker that happens to be big and green. My son's friend say's it look just like a lime, I'm thinking avocado. Whatever. Handling hot ceramics is not a game for the slow, but even the fastest is sometimes not fast enough. Good gloves let you grab and manipulate items and swap out kit for direct versus indirect cooking, but good manipulation is the enemy of thick insulation properties.I've tried a number of welding gloves with a number of ANSI ratings and promises. These gloves allow me to pick up a 450F plate setter and shuffle it out of the basket without a flinch. other gloves would have my fingers warm enough to sting and I'd throw off the gloves in pain. WIth these I can walk from the grill to the kitchen with a hot plancha and not feel any discomfort or excessive warmth.They work. buy them.

Guanto calzata comoda, ben fatto. Ideale per cucina al bbq. Buona resistenza al calore
