Heat proof gloves - help me keep my hands looking soft and pretty

[Fizzlebang]

I regurlarly help put a local cub scout group on their annual camp - I get to do all the cooking. As we only cook over a fire with Billy cans and skillets I tend to get rather tattered hands after cooking for 20 for 4 days. I usually just wear heavy duty gardening gloves but has anyone got tips for some decent heatproof gloves?

Welding gloves

Yup welding gloves are what you need, they're a bit big and clumsy but they stand up to heat better than gardening gloves

Have a look on ebay for heat resistant kevlar gloves.

Not as bulky as welders gloves and and a lot more comfortable to wear as well for extended times

Found them.. dunno if they are any good, but damn pricey.

Silicon pot grips are pretty good too for a cheap alternative

That's by the bon-fire people... all their gear is pricey. You can get knitted heat resistant gloves on ebay for under a tenner

I use normal oven mitts, always worked ok with dutch ovens.

I use the glove that came with my wood burner when cooking on the fire pit - cant remember the brand, but they're a good fit and holds off a lot of heat
