Are these nitril gloves? They are blue and much tougher than plain
latex, which are usually white. They are a bit more expensive than latex
and are usually used in tougher environments than latex can handle - as
you describe. They are especially resistant to puncture, but when they
puncture they often do so with a major rip.
Shifting to other ways to operate bare handed, another practice is to
"wash" your hands in the old smoker ashes before restarting the smoker.
