Can you grab and move burning logs with these gloves?

No! They will burn you if you try. Gloves for burning logs are made from specially treated leather. Hope this helps

absolutely not. the heat goes through them when taking trays out of the oven

Used them to pull a turkey and a Boston butt off my BGE, hands weren't really over the heat long enough to notice but yes, your knuckles will be close to the grate. Hope that helps.

I would think they would work like any rubber gloves you might have. Personally I would not use them for thorny bushes.

Nope- once you rake up the leaves, you use these to pick them up in a bunch to carry to the curb or put in lawn waste bags. They are simply 'big hands'

Yes, I believe so. The gloves are soft with no ridges. I use them to handle photos and with no damage to the photo including transferring of oils.

I can't answer that question. We bought the gloves to use as a prop for a costume, not realizing they were used for the fireplace.

I'm not sure of this question. However, i can lift our hot woodstove top with them to add more firewood. But that is about as close to fire I would get with them. If you could explain your need more, I might be able to respond more direct. They are a great workglove, heavy leather yet pliable. Love the string tightening mechanism & the quick release. Most of my gloves wear out before one season...not these. Even if you cant use them for your fire needs, i can guarantee you will use them for everything else. Hope this helps :)

You probably could if the gloves are large. Actually it sounds like a good idea to wear gloves over them to keep them from getting dirty.

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

My crew was using these to pick up and move hot oysters and grill pieces and they worked well for that. They have a rubber or vinyl coating that looks like it might possible melt if you moved glowing coals. Perhaps a wet leather glove would be more suitable.

I am a man and wear XL gloves and these DO NOT fit. Yes, I can put them on my hands with a bit of strain and pulling - but god forbid you actually touch something hot - you cannot get your hands out of these gloves fast enough. I tested them just pouring boiling water over them for a few seconds. The material heated up and started to burn my hand. I could not take the glove off fast enough and had to wait for them to cool down by dunking them in cold water.

Yes. Those long skinny metal legs can be touched by fingers and not too hot. And on the top, you can grab that handle and carry/move the entire unit with out a glove.

It would be very difficult. The weight part of the glove is in the palm of the hand, so gripping would be an issue.

Not at all, just visualize them as very large and workable extension of your hands. They make the job of picking up the leaves etc. much easier in putting them into a disposable bag or better wet putting the leaves into the leaf shredder.

You can but they won't last that long. I used my gloves for catching crabs and the kevlar part was very sturdy but everything else started falling apart in few weeks.

It is flat, so it stretches for either hand. I got 2 anyway for ease of moving larger logs. If I remember correctly, my order was automatically upped to 2 gloves, so you might want to watch for that.

Depending on the size of your hands, there isn't much room to add another layer. The gloves create a suction, making it easier to move as if they are molded to hands. I have found if hands are damp the heat goes directly to hands and makes it difficult to hold a cast iron handle @375°. Otherwise, can hold a decent amount of time before heat transfers. I would not suggest trying to hold flaming logs or coals. Great product. Everyone, including my kids, appreciate these.
