took me long enough, but I thought of a possible way to get oven panels cured at 400 degrees if I use the stove-brite paint, except I'd rather come up with an alternative, if anybody can think of non-pizzeria, non-food businesses that use ovens. (My deli/pizzeria said yes, they'd do it after hours, but only because we're in there daily, and you could see they weren't happy fuming up the place). Only alternative I can think of is a potter's oven but as I've never taken a class I have no idea if they're big enough.

I have a 10BX and the grates are chromed along with the thermowell lid. I am trying to figure out how to post pictures and will do so soon. Also, I used stove polish on my grillenator burner and it worked great. My burner did not have rust on it but the cast iron stoveman I spoke to, in order to get tips on what they do to those very rusty old cast iron cook stoves, said to just wire brush off the rust as best as possible then use stove polish (they call it"shoe polish"). Be sure to get the polish used on the wood burners. It withstands incredible heat. I have heated up my grillenator and trust me, no fumes at all! (I cranked that baby up too.) Hope this helps

Ouseidel, I forgot to ask, does your model A have copper tubing by chance? Dumdum

Could you provide some more info on the stove polish? What is it, where do you get it, what does it do, how expensive, etc? Thanks.

I got the polish from the guy I bought my stove from who is an antique wood, Cast Iron stove dealer. I would look in the phone book for any store that sells cast iron cookstoves. It is William's Stove Polish in a yellow tube. It is made to be used specifically on unpainted Steel and Cast Iron. It does not smoke or smell. Apparently they make a liquid one also but this semi-paste is great! Hope this helps.

Update. I just punched William's Stove Polish in my search engine and many sites came up. They are charging 4.50-5.00 per tube which is what I paid. The sites explain the product also.

Hey ouseidel:

Yes, the older Chambers did have chromed burner grates. At least the B's that I have seen use them.

And Joe and Frank: I've been searching every now and then for local enamelers, and haven't found anyone in Chicagoland. There is Custom Ceramic Coating in central Illinois, their prices are about double Gigi's. Haven't tried them yet.

Let me know if you find anyone nearby.

Regards,

Joe P

Joe, did any of these older models with chrome grates have copper tubing? Tara

Interesting! If my stove was in fact redone they did one hech of a job. It looks to be original, although the guy who owned it obviously loved it and took great care of it. He could have redone it. I will find time to figure out how to post pictures. Thanks for the response.
