The Dragon has Landed

I told you my wife and I have been up to something at Amazon. You've been patient.

Your patience is about to be rewarded. Look what we found:

Finally in our hands and soon to be on yours. We're taking pictures, running tests and finalizing our Amazon listing.

The big surprise: they're better than we thought. They're thicker and more durable that our initial samples. 

Can your gloves withstand this?


Yes, I put my hand on the stove, turned it up to High and left it there for a half minute or more. It wasn't hot. We had enough pictures and I was getting bored.

Can your gloves do this?


Yeah, I got the chimney starter going as hot as I could then picked it up. I held it long enough to get a few dozen pictures. Then I dumped the coals into the barbecue not because of the heat.

I had to make some ribs.

In the kitchen, at the barbecue, on the grill or over the campfire we know heat protection is #1. But cut resistance is nice, too, so we incorporated Para-Aramid fibers like those found in bulletproof vests, fencing uniforms and motorcycle armor.

Not only can you do this:


But the gloves are extra durable. Those fibers aren't going to wear out.

My Gorgeous Illustrator doesn't like it when we use this joke:

Will Dragon Knuckle gloves stop a bullet? Yes, if it's thrown at you.

(Our legal team doesn't suggest you try to stop a bullet if it's shot at you. Avoid those kinds of parties.)

If you're thinking about putting your own products for sale on Amazon, have one free lesson on us. Remember the last picture? Amazon frowns on weapons in product pictures even if they prove a point.

That picture with the knife may not be allowed in the final cut.

How do we celebrate the arrival of our Dragon Knuckle gloves? How do you think?




Jerky's in the oven right now. Do you need Meta-Aramid gloves when you're only cooking at 170?

No, but I'm on a beef jerky diet.

Seriously. More on that later.

The Poet with Dragon Knuckles


Dragon Knuckle Day is on the way.

My Gorgeous Illustrator and I, acting on training from my new employer, are going into business for ourselves on Amazon.

If you've been reading this blog for any time you know if I'm not writing and she's not drawing, we're cooking. So something food related was natural.

Want to know more about the product? Check out DragonKnuckle.com.

And please help us out with any chatter and exposure you can provide. As new business people, we'd appreciate it tremendously.

Gratitude and BBQ love will be your reward.

And if you'd like to help us further or go into business yourself, contact us directly.

Have a recipe or BBQ story to share with Dragon Knuckle? Let us know.

Keep it Roasting.
