The Char-Griller Aramid Barbecue Glove is designed for those who work near grills, embers and hot surfaces and want to handle accessories with greater protection and control.
Its combination of aramid fibre, silicone grip and cotton lining brings together, in a single piece, materials specifically chosen to help you get on with your barbecue without compromising on hand mobility.
This one-size-fits-all, ambidextrous barbecue glove is designed to assist you at every stage of the cooking process, from handling accessories to tending the charcoal or cooking on a hot griddle.
Aramid up to 260 °C for working near the heat
Aramid fibre forms the outer structure of the glove and, combined with the silicone grip, enables Char-Griller to specify heat resistance of up to 260 °C. This is a particularly useful feature when your hands need to get close to areas and accessories that have reached high temperatures during cooking.
Char-Griller designs it for everyday tasks such as removing hot accessories from the barbecue, tending to the embers or working on a hot griddle. Thus, the same glove can be used for different stages of a barbecue session without being limited to a single function.
The figure of 260 °C indicates the thermal limit stated by the manufacturer; it should not be interpreted as authorisation for prolonged contact with surfaces at that temperature, nor as protection against direct flame.
Non-toxic silicone grip
The glove features a non-toxic silicone grip over the aramid fibre. This area is designed to improve grip when you need to pick up or move items on the barbecue whilst keeping your hand protected.
It is particularly useful when handling hot grills and other accessories, where a firm grip helps you work in a more controlled manner. The silicone thus complements the thermal properties of the aramid with a surface specifically designed for grip.
The result is a combination designed for real-world tasks around the barbecue: protection against heat and a contact area specifically designed to grip accessories whilst handling them.
Flexible sleeve to protect the forearm
Protection doesn’t stop at the wrist. Char-Griller includes a flexible sleeve designed to cover part of the forearm when working near a heat source.
This extension comes in handy when reaching into the cooking area, moving a grill rack or tending to the embers – situations where it’s not just the palm and fingers that are close to the heat.
As it is flexible, the sleeve maintains the functional philosophy of the design: to extend the protected area without turning the glove into a rigid, single-purpose item.
Cotton lining on the inside
The glove’s construction is completed by an inner cotton lining. This ensures that the hand does not come into direct contact with the outer aramid and silicone structure, but instead has a separate inner layer.
This configuration combines three materials with distinct functions within a single piece: aramid forms the heat-resistant base, silicone provides the grip area and cotton forms the inner lining.
Char-Griller confirms the presence of the cotton lining, but does not specify any additional breathability properties or a specific washing method for this model; therefore, it is not advisable to attribute performance characteristics to it that the manufacturer has not documented.
One size fits all for either hand
The Char-Griller 8860 is manufactured in a single size and is designed to be used on either the right or left hand. You do not need to choose a different version depending on which hand you will be using.
The ambidextrous design is practical when tasks around the barbecue change whilst cooking, whether it’s removing an accessory, moving a grill rack or tending to the embers.
It’s a simple solution for anyone looking for a functional, heat-resistant barbecue glove that’s ready for everyday tasks around the barbecue.
