Hi
I have an early A model I'm cleaning up I tried for a C and lost it. Like Earl says "Karma.) I wanted to go with a little easier LP conversion, but I've still got 6 months before she needs to be up and running. She's soooo pretty and nearly perfect. I like the lines better than any other Chambers I've seen. So........
Two questions if I may. Does the B manual describe the work necessary to make an A burner work for propane? (I'm pretty handy with tools.) and, can a dull but intact porcelain top be power buffed using several compounds, be brought up to an accptable shine? Thanks...Dan

Dan, I believe the B manual does describe what you have to do to convert. I know that the burners have to be raised, this is done by a screw that when loosened allows you to raise or lower the burners. Then the peaks have to be cut off the tall burners and you need shallow drip pans. They are not easy to find. The reason that you need the shallow ones is that when the burners are raised the deep pans don't fit. The peaks are cut off because you can't set a pan on the grates with the peaks sticking out. The main thing that you have to look at is that natural gas is heavier so everything is slanted down hill. Propane is lighter so everything must go up. Hope that's right, and that it helps.

You may be able to buff the porcelain top.
Once it is clean try something like wrights silver
creme and work on it by hand, nothing rough.
If there are some really bad places there is
a product for windshields that is supposed to
remove scratches. This product is a auto parts
stores. I have not tried it but since porcelain
is just glass covered metal it should work.

I have a pretty good side grinder / buffer.I was thinking about starting with a fairly fast cutting compound to get the scratches and progressing through finer tripoli and rouges. I don't mind putting in the time if you think it will help. Anybody else tried this route?...Thanks...Dan
