I got a wood burner last autumn and must confess to loving it (sad ehh!!) . It came with a really nice red welding glove to allow you to put logs in and rearrange the fire sometimes.
After a while I managed to burn a hole in the glove, but, the insulation inside the glove protected me from any burns. So I bought some replacement gloves from eBay... nice and cheap ... boy were they cheap.
The replacements had no inside insulation and I am feeling the heat through them...
So I have gone to one of the greatest sources if information on the planet the STW forum.... can anyone recommend me a good welding glove?
All the very best and thanks in anticipation.
Become best of friends with a lefthanded welder so you can have all his righthand welding gloves!
Try Arco - branches everywhere and they sell to non-trade.

Don't know where you're based but if you have a Mole valley farmers near you they do a really nice welding gauntlet, nice soft leather with internal insulation and well priced.
I am near Rugby.. Midlands.... in the little village of Willey.
Small village but big on cycling. Over 10% of the village are regular cyclists.
Not welders though 🙂
Welding gloves come in many thicknesses, depending upon their intended use.
Machine mart do some pretty thick ones, if you have a store nearby, or you can order online (search for red welding gauntlet)
Eyepic, i have just the welding gauntlet you are after. and i'm about 12 miles away! interested?
I have machine Mart red welding mits - that are thick and insulated - work well when I is welding !
Clearview Stoves gloves.......... lovely. Red and insulated.
Aldi do them sometimes as well.
rbrstr Yes please

Foundry gloves are better suited to your needs than welders gloves. A bit more expensive but designed to protect from high temps for extended periods.[url= http://www.arco.co.uk/1/1/4197-foundry-heat-beater-glove.html ]Cyberman[/url] maybe a little OTT these but you get the idea.
Eyepic, these are a very heavy duty Mig welding glove,brand new,
