Customer Reviews
Nitrile gloves for the food, leather gloves for the fire. I have been using these to run my smokers for just over 2 years. I can pick out a smoldering log or pick up a coal that has fallen out. In the condition they are in I'll get quite a few more. As a compairison before these I used leather military riggers gloves and I would burn through them in about a year.
I use these gloves for dealing with the burn pile. I’m clumsy. I came close to ruining my garden gloves. An oven mitt only adds to my lack of dexterity. I really like a glove with outside seams (just try to find them) for comfort when wearing them for long periods.
I get hang nails really bad with the regular store bought gloves, I don’t with Sullivan Wildland fire gloves. I did order a size to small and returned , waiting to get correct size back . Mac
