Artisan Griller 17" Pit Glove

I bought these based on product reviews, but as good as the reviews were, these gloves are much better than expected! They allow pretty good dexterity while protecting your hands from heat and hot liquids.They are perfect for putting racks of ribs in the rib rack and removing them when done. No more wrestling with tongs. They make saucing them during smoking a breeze. It even makes cleaning the rib rack easy because I can hold the hot rack while scraping off the burned sauce and chunks. I'm positive they will work fantastically with all other smoked and BBQ'd food. I can't wait til I use them on pulled pork. When finished, I simply wash my hands with the gloves on and put them in the drain til dry. After they are dry, I put them in the handy zip bag provided until I need them again. I have used these several times, and they show no signs of wear. I believe they will last a long long time.

i bought these gloves from Artisan Griller and i am more than satisfied. These gloves do the job! I bbq a lot! all kind of stuff, but i especially like to grill those baby back ribs. Until i had these gloves, it was hard to take those ribs 3-4 times out of the grill when i didn't have gloves that could handle the heat. Now, its a whole different story. also my wife use them when taking out stuff from the oven. Cleaning them is as easy as 2 minutes under that tap with dish soap. I must also say that i encountered out of this world customer service from Artisan Griller. when i ordered the gloves, i ordered a bigger size than i needed. i had two choices: use those when they are not comfortable or return them (and pay the shipment all the way from Israel to the states (wasn't worth it). I turn to John, from Artisan Griller, to ask him what i can do. With no question, he sent me a new pair, fitting my size and told me to keep the big pair. i was with no words. Great product. Great price. Great quality.

Bought these last year for my brother who was going to use them to make 2 large briskets in the BBQ pit. He wanted to be able to flip the meat without tearing it up or poking it with a tool. These worked out great for him. The grip was good and the heat resistance was wonderful. He has big hands with what he calls, “sausage fingers,” and the gloves fit great. Since then, I have used them for various tasks in the kitchen, such as flipping a turkey on thanksgiving and grabbing baked potatoes out of the oven with no issues. I have significantly smaller hands and fingers and have not had any issue with the size of the gloves being cumbersome. Great gloves!!!

I own a Pit Barrel bbqer which is equipped with rods that get VERY hot. I also have to lift hooks out of the hot barrel that hang heavy meat. I purchased these gloves to use while bbqing with my Pit Barrel. These are FABULOUS! They withstand very high temperatures and I'm able to touch hot metal and move things on my bbqers without burning myself or my arms. They also come in handy when I need to move the hot cast iron griddles I use on my propane bbqer and my pellet grill. I'm a short woman with short arms and small hands. While these gloves are big, they don't feel big on me.

Very sturdy. Used on a comping trip. Handled cast iron and fire heat fairly well. Could hold the cast iron for 30 seconds to 2 minutes without problems. Could not hold the wire handle on my Dutch oven once it was hot. Could easily handle food at any temperature. Size of the glove is a little awkward. I wear size 7.5 gloves. The fingers are shorter than my hand, but much fatter in the fingers as well as the palm. Not insurmountable but definitely limits dexterity. Mine came without the yellow label seen in the picture and an area that looked like it had been removed with solvent. I am hoping that doesn't mean that it is not longer made in the USA as the picture infers. The cut on the cuff is a little rugged and imprecise. Does not effect use, but looks a little unfinished. Overall satisfied.

These are "YUGE". Did they use the Michelin Man as the hand model? It's not just that the length of the fingers is excessive; each finger is fat. Because of their semi-rigid form, I swim around inside, making it impossible to hold onto meat. I can't use them. I thought that although they'd be big, I could make them work . . . wrong. Except for the size, they seem great, so please get some made for normal people ;-) I've given the product 5 stars because it is great for the right person. I just think that they probably only fit 20% or less of the population. Unless you are in that size range, I'd encourage potential buyers to wait for the promised smaller size(s).

Great gloves; used it for a catered rib job of mine; Glad I had these to remove the tender spare ribs off the smoker. Ribs would have fallen apart with tongs or something. I like the size, they are big enough to slip on and off easily, but fit enough to have good dexterity for the things I need. Very long gauntlet style, and the texture on the fingers helps grip well too. I would highly recommend these for pit gloves. Seem well built, so we'll see how long they last.

I just bought two pairs of these gloves. One for me, one for my son. I have a very large grill built from an old 275 gallon oil barrel. I cook whole pigs and large amounts of chicken. Having a pair of gloves that cover the arms is a bonus. For years I have looked for gloves like this. Most of the guys I cook with have the rubber gloves that linemen use for high voltage. They are really nice. I had one of my cooking buddies give me a pair to use. They can be bulky, but I never feel the heat from the grill with them. I have been looking for gloves like these for some time. Have searched hundreds of sites. Of course, everyone has different preferences, so you find a varied selection, but this is the first time I find a pair that cover the arms as well. Reaching over the cooker gets extremely hot. So having this added protection will be awesome. I received these a few weeks back. Haven't used them yet, but I have been cooking on my grill for a very long time. Really looking forward to using them. I can already tell by the way they fit and the way they feel, that I think I've found something really good to use. By the reviews, that seems like the general consensus. Very stoked. Going to order two more pairs.

Used with smoker. Works great.

Within 4 hours of use there were holes/ cracks between the finger
