Working around grills, smokers, fireplaces, and wood stoves exposes your hands and wrists to intense radiant heat and hot metal surfaces. SpitJack Deluxe Fireplace & Barbecue Gloves are designed and manufactured exclusively for SpitJack to provide substantial protection for demanding dry-heat cooking and fire-management tasks.
These heavy-duty leather gloves feature SpitJack's full-palm stitched leather reinforcement, an additional foil-laminated layer in the palm, Kevlar stitching, extra-thick foam padding, and a fully lined soft felt interior. The result is a purpose-built glove designed for brief contact with hot objects, searing radiant heat, grilling equipment, fireplaces, wood stoves, smokers, and other high-temperature applications.

Rather than using the small palm reinforcement commonly found on basic welder-style gloves, SpitJack designed these gloves with a full-palm stitched leather reinforcement that better shields the palm and utility fingers during temporary exposure to hot objects and intense radiant heat.
An additional foil-laminated layer inside the palm adds another level of protection for extreme situations involving brief direct-flame exposure.
Kevlar Stitching & Extra-Thick InsulationHigh-heat gloves need more than a thick leather shell. SpitJack uses Kevlar stitching for added strength and durability, along with extra-thick foam padding throughout the glove for thermal insulation.
The gloves are also fully lined with soft felt rather than only partially lined, providing additional comfort and protection around the wrist.
Made for Grills, Smokers, Fireplaces & Wood StovesThese gloves are designed for the dry-heat environments common around barbecue grills, smokers, fireplaces, wood stoves, charcoal, hot cooking grates, and cast iron. They can be useful when adjusting hot grates, moving smoker racks, handling chimney starters, opening hot smoker doors, or performing other controlled tasks near high heat.
They also provide more structured finger control than a traditional cloth oven mitt while extending protection beyond the hands toward the wrists and lower forearms.
Important Heat Safety InformationThese gloves are heat resistant, not fireproof. They are made of leather and can ignite if held in prolonged contact with an open flame.
Use them for brief, controlled exposure to hot objects, dry heat, and radiant heat. Do not rely on them for prolonged direct-flame contact, steam, boiling liquids, or wet high-heat applications.
Pro Tips- Use fireplace or grill tools whenever possible instead of relying on the gloves for prolonged contact with hot or burning objects.
- Put down hot cookware or equipment immediately if you begin to feel heat transferring through the glove.
- Avoid using the gloves when wet because moisture can transfer heat rapidly.
- Keep them away from steam, boiling liquids, and wet hot cookware.
- Use them for brief handling of cast iron, hot grates, smoker racks, and similar dry-heat tasks.
- Wipe the gloves clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry fully.
- Do not machine wash, soak, bleach, or tumble dry the leather gloves.
What are SpitJack Deluxe Fireplace & Barbecue Gloves designed for?
They are designed to help protect the hands and wrists from temporary exposure to high heat while grilling, smoking, cooking over a fire, tending a fireplace, using a wood stove, or handling hot barbecue equipment.
Are these BBQ gloves or fireplace gloves?
They are designed for both applications. They can be used as barbecue gloves, grill gloves, smoker gloves, fireplace gloves, wood stove gloves, and outdoor cooking gloves.
Are SpitJack Deluxe Fireplace & Barbecue Gloves fireproof?
No. These gloves are heat resistant, not fireproof. They are made of leather and can ignite if held in prolonged contact with an open flame.
Can I use these gloves to grab burning logs?
They may help protect your hands during brief, controlled fire-management tasks, but they should not be used to hold burning logs for an extended period. Fireplace tools should be used whenever possible.
Can I use these gloves for grilling and smoking?
Yes. They are well suited to grilling, smoking, barbecue, and outdoor cooking tasks such as adjusting hot grates, handling chimney starters, moving smoker racks, managing charcoal, and opening hot smoker doors.
Can I use these instead of oven mitts?
They can be useful for many dry-heat tasks and provide individual finger control, substantial structure, and wrist protection. They are leather gloves, however, and are not intended as waterproof protection for wet, greasy, steaming, or boiling-liquid applications.
Are SpitJack Fireplace & Barbecue Gloves waterproof?
No. The leather gloves are not waterproof. Avoid soaking them or using them to handle wet hot items, boiling liquids, steam, or wet cookware.
Do these gloves protect against steam?
Not reliably. Steam can penetrate materials quickly and cause burns. These gloves are designed primarily for dry heat, radiant heat, and brief contact with hot objects.
Can I use these gloves with cast iron?
Yes. They can be useful for briefly handling cast iron pans, Dutch ovens, grill grates, smoker racks, and other hot metal items. Put the item down immediately if you begin to feel heat transferring through the glove.
What makes these different from ordinary leather work gloves?
These gloves are designed specifically for high-heat cooking and hearth use. They feature full-palm stitched leather reinforcement, a foil-laminated palm layer, Kevlar stitching, extra-thick foam insulation, and full soft-felt lining.
Why does wrist coverage matter?
Reaching into a grill, smoker, fireplace, or wood stove can expose the wrists and lower forearms to radiant heat along with the hands. Additional coverage helps protect those areas during common fire-management and cooking tasks.
Are the gloves flexible enough for cooking?
They are thick, insulated gloves, so they will not provide the same dexterity as lightweight kitchen gloves. They are designed to balance practical hand movement with substantial high-heat protection.
Can I use these gloves for welding?
These gloves may resemble welding gloves, but they are sold primarily for fireplaces, grilling, barbecue, wood stoves, and cooking. For welding, use gloves specifically rated and approved for the welding process being performed.
Can I use these gloves for gardening or household work?
Yes. Their thick leather construction may also be useful for tasks such as pruning thorny plants, handling rough materials, or general outdoor work. Grease, moisture, dirt, and chemicals may affect the leather over time.
How should I clean SpitJack Deluxe Fireplace & Barbecue Gloves?
Wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry fully. Do not machine wash, soak, bleach, or tumble dry them.
Who are these gloves best for?
They are a strong choice for people who regularly cook with live fire, charcoal, smokers, fireplaces, pizza ovens, wood stoves, Dutch ovens, or heavy cast iron and want more hand and wrist protection than a standard kitchen mitt provides.
What should I avoid doing with these gloves?
Do not hold them in an open flame, use them while wet, rely on them for steam protection, handle boiling liquids with them, or assume they make your hands burn-proof. They are protective gloves for brief, controlled contact with hot objects and radiant heat.
What is the SKU?

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
