Chambers Video On YouTube

Kind of long and not of cinematic excellence, yet, it is kind of fun to watch. Go to youtube.com and in the search field, enter "chambers range".

well, it's not exactly an action-packed movie, but I did like watching the burners light up.

Does the stove belong to anyone we know?

Yes, it is lack luster in action but the dialogue makes up for the lack of action. However, it is food for thought and a real action packed broiling, cooking, baking, T'well'in video would be a fun thing to do and it could even be used as a tool for those on the fence of "should i keep or shoulld i sell ?"

Asfan,
How did you come across that one???

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to convert my "stuffed grape leaves" recipe to my t-well. I think the rice would be fluffy-er if done in the t-well than stovetop & gentler on the grape leaves.
Too bad you're not here to be my official tester!!

That stove could use a rechroming and a trip to GiGis for some new porcelain. The movie didn't show the use of the thermowell or the great triple pots. Anyone have a camera that can video the range actually in use, actually cooking stuff?

Well that just about sums up my stove...except my right burner comes on after a 3 count delay, probably same chrome condition etc. Was there a safety thing in the storage compartment? Mine doesn't have one.

I bet they are getting ready to sell it and are going to use the video for a 'look/see'...v

Berlyn, For the stuffed grapeleaves...i would start them out on ten minutes of full fire and then turn the gas off for about an hour. I think the real trick is getting your liquid level high enough to cover all the leaves and not be a soupy mess. My T'well rice is really quite exceptional, especially the more exotic rices like the Basmati rices, turn out exceptionally well. NOW, how did I find that Chambers Stove video ? ....it was a dark and stormy night....I needed something to do that would keep me off the streets and out of jail...aha ! The internet to the rescue ! Sites like youtube.com have such a vast array of useless information, I just knew there would be something for me. After using "search" for several other topics, all which were useless....I thought I would just give "Chambers" a try and bingo ! It's a pretty horrible video yet, it is a Chambers stove and that's all that mattered.

Hi. I think I can solve the mystery.
I'm purchasing the stove from a man is PA. I asked if he could send me some more pics and he e mailed me with the url for his posting to U tube. It was bought by his mother new and used for an overflow stove when entertaining. His wife has had it for approx 25 yrs but hasn't used it. Supposedly the stove hadn't been cleaned at all for the video, including the top.. I'm picking it up this weekend...Dan

Stove looks great. The oven racks arn't rusted. bearly looks used.

Good find - you should be able to polish that top to a mirror finish. I did that to our stove and it was a little worse. . . . well look at her photos.

Lot of luck

Ron

Thanks Steve. Yeah I'm really looking forward to cleaning her up. Bet she shines like a new penny...Dan

Well we just got back from Pittsburgh with the Chambers stove in question. I was pretty well convinced of the stoves condition by the video. So... after a 700 mile trip, a terrifying descent down a crazy angled stairwy, and s driving rainstorm.... I musy say...It was worth it... She was a thing of beauty. as close to pristine as any original appliance I've ever seen. The chrome is beautiful, and with the exception of a tiny chip where the backsplash joins the top, her porcelian is perfect. Burners, grates, drip rings even the oven floor are beautiful . After a very thorough exam I found no rust. NONE!!! ANYWHERE. I couldnt believe it.( I lied. There is a tiny bit of surface rust on the back) The racks are still shiny. The burners all work smoothly. The timer works and appears to be accurate. The thermostat dial has a chip of the enamel. I was so busy evaluating the stove that I almost didn't notice the stainless steel scallop edge Chambers vent hood above. We negotiated a price and It came home with me too. Also pristine except for the plastic lens of the light which has deteriorated with time. The accessoties included a round pot, a triple pot and a thermobaker. All of these appear never to have been used. As if this wasnt good enough; attached with a string to the back was what I'm assuming was the double ended wrench that came in the cloth beg that was in the thermowell of a new stove. One end or another fits all the nuts to take off the back, bacsplash and sides....All in all a pretty good day. She's going onto our retro New mexico kitchen. I'll send pictures when I can....Dan
