are they suitable for using in the fireplace/firepit? Not just for placing logs, but moving logs that are lit or have hot coals?

They'd probably keep you safe, but I wouldn't use them for this purpose. These are knit from special materials and you'll get them extremely dirty in short order. You'd be better off with "welder" gloves. Better yet, you need some kind of fireplace claw, handihand, or the like for this kind of duty.

I would be concerned about sap getting on the gloves which would be hard to clean.

I would say coals, yes, just be quick about it. Direct flames, I wouldn't risk it.

Temperature wise they would be good, but for fireplaces I prefer the longer traditional thick leather lined gloves. They defintely have higher temperature range, but your lower arm is a little exposed in fireplace scenario.

They are anodized aluminium, not Teflon so use over an open fire would not cause ill effects. But they are sized for two people, and very light so keep them off the coals.

I would not use them for hot coals, I think they would melt or burn your hands.

I would recommend using them when there is no wind. We used half one night when there was a breeze and they came very close to some trees. When we used the rest there was no breeze and they went straight up. Once the fuel is burnt they will begin to come down. My only concern was ours had thin metal rods holding the candle and that could cause problems for wildlife. There are others that have bamboo sticks that I will definitely use in the future.

No, I would not think they could serve any purpose with fire. They come with a handle that completely removes any air from them and you do not need fore. They have a release valve on the top to release the air before removing. I would not recommend fire at all. Fire ones do not have a release valve.

I would think that they are about 6" and diameter depends on the root. It would work pretty well for minute logs. There are thick and thin sticks, there is not one set diameter.

If the fire pit is just something to hold actual flames, I don't see why not, but, I'm not expert. I'd call the company, but these are cans of a flammable gel, that I use in a ventless fireplace. That said, I don't see why you couldn't use them in a firepit, especially if it's outside, and not being used with gas.

When we trim the trees in our backyard we cut the 2 inch in diameter plus one in 2 10 inch strips and use them in the pit. I would think any kind of wood would work, we even occasionally use the pre purchase log that are made for the fireplace.

I would not use these on hardwood as-is. The feet are pretty hard and would slide/scratch. Perhaps you could find some rubber or felt pads for them.... They are heavy enough that they wouldn't slide with felt.

Yes. They used em for a wildfire near my house and now it looks like a ball pit At chucky cheeses. Honestly, No. These are not fireproof. Sorry

Yes you can use these on a charcoal gril, you I waited until the flames went down, but there not supposed to burn.

It can not be used where there is fire. You can paint the outside of a grill but not the inside. So, I would not think you could use in a fireplace.

Yes! We are in a high Fire risk area in the mountains so I put them in the back of my car in case we get evacuated. They are definitely not heavy duty but they fit my need.

The logs have a strong perfume before burning. It might be a bit much to store in a small place. Once lit, it is the best burning get log I have ever used. I wonder if the manufacturer might suggest ways of storing the of, like in a heavy plastic bag.

I've only used them indoors in my fireplace. And they heat up the room nicely with no Cleanup! Outside, they might not do as well in the wind without some kind of metal backdrop to protect from the wind. (Just guessing)

sure, but they are very bulky. My hubby uses them for the fire pit and fireplace.

I agree with the others that it wouldn't be wise to use these for moving coal. They work great with meat but I think you would be burned if it touched coals
