I am partial to Kinco's and Carhartt winter gloves.
My advice: if you use these for loading the stove, get ones that will not upset you when they catch on fire or get chucked in the stove along with a log.
First flame up this year actually came the other night. Was in the stove "re-arranging" when I noticed my hand getting a little hot.
Neighbor was watching out the window by chance and saw a fireball come flying out of stove house following by me chasing it and stomping on it.
He said that he chuckled and that I was lucky it wasn't my arm....again......due to no snow pile to jam it into.:hmm3grin2orange: I nodded in agreement.
This was from a year before.
So that's my advice. Good luck. :msp_thumbup:
