Look behind you in that dark corner.
Parts:
1 pair of legs from a COTTON pair of pants.
1 piece of fiberglass insulation.
a sewing machine and scissors.

Step:1
Cut the legs off the jeans and trim them to 10".
Step:2
Cut a piece of the fiberglass to fit inside the pants leg and Strip the foil off the back of the insulation, leaving a piece 1" thick.
Step: 3
Stuff it inside one pant leg.
Step: 4
Cut out a piece of the other leg to make a pocket for your hand to go into., ideally it is shorter, say 8"
Step:5
Completely sew up the fiberglass inside the bag. then add the pouch, leaving an end open for your hand.

This is pretty basic, you can detail as much as you like from here like making the pouch part a different color or hemming things up professionally, and if you want one you can wash, use thick layers of heavy cotton quilt batting if you have any, it won't turn heat like fiberglass, but you can wash them forever and not get that stuff in your clothes. since either way is pretty easy, make some for the shop or grill use. :)
