Fireplace Gloves and Welder Gloves - Useful Fireplace Tools

Fireplace gloves, or welders gloves are a must have accessory for anyone who frequently burns a fireplace or wood burning stove.

When manning the fire in your fireplace or wood burning stove, certain tools make it a much easier task. Having an appropriate poker can help you lift and rearrange hot wood and embers while aiding in the prevention of skin burns, but sometimes even a good poker is not enough. Maneuvering the hot wood can be awkward and difficult, and most people with a fireplace or wood burning stove have likely wished they could stick their hand right into the fire to get the wood where they want it. That is now possible by using fireplace gloves, or welder gloves.

Welder gloves, or fireplace gloves, are most commonly made from very thin, tough leather that is resistant to fire and heat. This durable leather allows you to reach into your fireplace or wood burner, and actually arrange the hot logs by hand. They are most often insulated with wool, to further help prevent your skin from being burnt by the hot logs or embers.

When fireplaces or wood burning stoves are used as a central heat source in a home, it is important to clean them regularly. Leaving the ash to build up in the bottom not only causes excess dust and soot in your home, but they can also help cause a build up on the walls of your chimney, that can ultimately cause a chimney fire. This makes it sometimes necessary to clean out the ashes and embers while they are still hot. To prevent burns on your arms and hands, different types and styles of fireplace gloves, or welder gloves available for you to purchase.

Fireplace gloves, or welders gloves are a must have accessory for anyone who frequently burns a fireplace or wood burning stove. A poker is a good fireplace accessory to have, as well, but there are situations where a poker would not help. For example, if a hot log rolls off of the fire, and onto your floor, the poker would be virtually useless. On the other hand, fireplace gloves, or welder’s gloves, would enable you to pick the hot log up with your hands, and put it back into the fire. Anyone who regularly uses a fireplace or wood burner can benefit greatly from a good pair of fireplace gloves, or welder gloves.
