Suggestions on gloves that can withstand heat?

Not my specialty, but have you looked for gloves with kevlar or nomex?

What about the OveGlove?

Wool is probably the best bet, followed by leather. Wool is probably the most versatile. Any other glove with synthtic material will fry!

Maybe welders gloves?

surplus nomex long johns for flight crews can be found at the thrift stores if you really want to get close to the flame.

I don't know about wool and heat…I made some felted oven mitts and used one to set a cast iron pan on; it turned brown and smelled like burned hair~which it is. And that was with really thight, dense, felted wool.

I use a silicone pot holder that can be found at any cooking store or department.
Very light weight, works great, and can be packed easily.
It's not gloves, but it works, and they might even make silicone oven gloves, for all I know. I just haven't looked for silicone gloves.
The silicone material will handle between 500-600 degrees F.

You could always use a leather glove protector, the kind designed to go over an electrical safety glove. They are just a very thin and light weight leather , and can be found at most any hardware store that sells industrial electrical supplies. You could put them over any glove to increase the protection and prevent fleece/synthetic gloves from burning. Or just use a pair of light weight leather/deerskin gloves alone also found at most any hardware store.

I just use my bandanna or smartwool glove liners typically.

I appreciate the suggestions. Ideally, I want something that works as all-purpose gloves for the trail — not just for campfire or cooking. So in a perfect world, they would also have good grip and be windproof.

My experience with wool (socks as mittens) is that wool burns too easily. I've used a silicon coaster for cooking chores, but am trying to eliminate that from the pack. Again, multiuse for everything, if possible.

What do you all use on the trail in this category (if anything)?

These are surprisingly warm for as thin as they are. I haven't had a chance to test the heat resistance.

You might try looking at gloves targeted for military use. I can't think of any windproof ones but there are fleece models made by OR and others which have high heat resistance to escape vehicle fires, etc and may be dense enough to block most wind.

The gloves I posted in my previous post are good all-purpose gloves for the trail. Good grip, windproof, and warm enough for cold weather. They're designed as work gloves for pit crews and others who have to deal with hot things (welders, etc.) so they are reasonably durable.

Here's another variation on the same theme.
