Product Description

Stay safe at the grill this barbeque season with Weber's heavy-duty barbecue mitt. Made of thick, quilted cotton, the insulated mitt measures 17 inches long from opening to tip to provide heat-resistant, fire-retardant protection for the hand and forearm. The stylish black finish also hides marinade and sauce stains nicely, and the hanging loop makes it easy to stow the mitt right near the action. The Weber red and white logo graces the wrist near the edge trim.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Worth the Price July 21, 2009

By El Officianado

For the price, this mitt is well worth it. I like the way it covers your forearms. Many times I have burned them when placing a roasting rack or skewer apparatus on a large platter to bring inside, and they slid just enough to touch my forearm. It does smart. This mitt eliminates this slight mishap. It also eliminates wincing when adjusting hot coals or adding charcoal to the fire; or when getting close to the fire to flip or move whatever you are cooking. It is a heavy duty mitt of decent bulk and quality. It fits my hands (I bought two) just fine and does not materially hinder my handling of barbecue utensils or cooking racks. I have no problem with its thumb as others have mentioned. I must admit however, that I would not attempt to wear them while picking up small to medium plates. Hope this helps.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good price, but... August 7, 2008

By Deanokat VINE™ VOICE

I bought this BBQ mitt because it was reasonably priced and made by Weber. Being a Weber fanatic, I had high hopes. But after trying to use it for the first time last night, I'm pretty disappointed. The mitt is very thick and heavy, which is great for protecting your hand from the heat. But it's so thick and heavy that gripping things with it is tough. Holding onto a wide-handled spatula was doable, although not super easy. But holding onto and trying to manipulate BBQ tongs was pretty much impossible. After much frustration, I finally took the mitt off and used the tongs barehanded. I'll probably use this mitt on occasion, but it won't be anywhere near the number of times I had expected to use it. Kind of disappointed with this one, Weber.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little too bulky. Not the best design either. April 7, 2009

By The Sybarite

I think these mitts are worth the price, but they are not flawless. Their thumb opening is on the same plane as the rest of the fingers, which is not how we have them aligned in our hands --at least when we are using our hands to grab something. Because they are rather stiff, this makes them a little difficult to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, heavy-duty mitt January 7, 2009

By tiny dancer

Perfect insulation. And washes nicely. I washed it on the delicate cycle and air dried it, and stills looks brand new.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good... but not for the grill July 12, 2010

By Kawakami

This item is good quality and covers a lot of arm. However, the mitt style and the thickness makes it hard to manipulate BBQ tools and move grill grates. Also, I've already burned a hole in the finger area. Mostly my fault, but still this is a BBQ mitt.

I think that it would be better used as a kitchen/ overn mitt.

I bout a pair of welding gloves to replace these, and the welding gloves work much better.

5.0 out of 5 stars no more lost hairs August 8, 2008

Very nice to not burn the hairs off my hand removing the grill lid, or trying to arrange coals, or flipping burgers. Also very stylish.

Highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too bulky January 22, 2010

By R. Pickings

On the plus side the price is right, and it does a good job protecting you from burns, but good luck picking up anything with this beast. I'm a man with medium-large hands and it's very difficult to grab pot handles or anything with confidence wearing these. My wife hates them. I recommend looking elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Insultated but really nonfunctional August 7, 2009

By Jason Pitt

Ordered a pair of these mitts to help out with outdoor charcoal grill. They do keep your hands insulated from the heat but the thumb on the same plane makes them almost unusable for basic functions besides picking plates up. I have recently purchased glove style and wouldn't want it any other way. If you feel like you will be doing a lot of outdoor cooking then consider the little increase in price for the glove style.
