NEW 90C ON EBAY WITHOUT A THERMOWELL. WHAT IS THIS ?
How did they cook their oatmeal ?
I actually DID buy a 41CC on Ebay. I felt that I wouldn't miss the Thermowell, as long as it came with the griddle and broiler!
Of course, I'll probably end up with a wicked case of T-well envy. Would it be too much to have two? I think I know what my husbands answer to that would be...
I look at this stove on Ebay and I noticed something else... It has a white porcelain top?
Hey, FatFutures. I had understood that the high-BTU burner could be swapped out with the T-Well, although I'm not sure what all is involved. If you're insterested, I have an extra T-Well you can have - you just have to pay shipping on it from zip 92563.
It's the highback equivalent of a Model CC Style 41. (or 41CC)
Check out Todd's site, in the section called "pictures and specs of different models." If you look at the full page ad, you'll see "the white parade." It shows a 60C, a 41CC, and the 90C. They must have made a highback version, as well, though it wasn't on this ad for their product line. The other possibility was that someone switched out the original backsplash on a 41CC.
On these models, the thermowell is replaced by an extra large, 12000 BTU burner, filling the same footprint as the thermowell. HOT, HOT, HOT.
When I first started looking at Chambers stoves, I had the chance to buy a 41CC. I also saw one sold on ebay around the same time. I agonized about which to buy, because I can so much food and could really use the super hot burner. I finally decided that a Chambers without a thermowell wasn't as much fun, or as functional. Still, when I'm canning, I bet I'll be wishing I had that 12000 BTU monster. Burner envy...

Hi FF;
Can you truly claim that everything tastes better in the dutchoven, when you don't have a twell to compare with?
All I can say is look at the enthusiasm for oatmeal, for crying outloud, made in a twell.

Hola Annnt!
You have an excellent point! LOL I've never seen so many people SO excited about oatmeal.
I suppose I should have said "in my experience things taste better".
I suppose I'll make "DO" with my four burner Chambers [img]wink.gif[/img] .
Hey guys, Mr. Chambers was a smart man!!
He did limited versions with different/standard features. This stove is an example of one. There's also a model that features the daisy burner with 6 daisies. It might be this same model where the t-well should be
I would not give up my t-well!! The oatmeal is so easy and taste so good!!
Tom can do anything in my book!! Very inventive and smart man!! Maybe he's related way down the line to Mr. Chambers.
I'm so glad that there's another avid canner in the group, FatFutures. Anyone else??
If your back burner is bigger than the other three, and has 6 daisys instead of the usual 4, then it is the 12000 BTU version. If so, I definitely have burner envy.
My devious little mind did come up with something, though. I have 2 Chambers stoves!!! I could always convert the second one's thermowell over to the super burner in the future if I ever felt the need. Of course, that would probably mean buying another stove for the parts, and I think my husband might have a couple things to say about that... [img]wink.gif[/img]
He's been such a good sport, but we're a bit crunched for space in a 700 sq. foot house!
It's always an option, though. Canning was what drove me to a gas stove in the first place, so I guess it is a bit of a priority for me that it works well. We'll see how I feel after I get my stove up and running.

Chipper,
I have seen on E-bay a 6 daisy burner. I guess they were parting out a stove.
Sam would know more on what model it would or would not fit.
The 41CC I considered buying also had a white porcelain top.
FatFutures, is your top Durachrome?
Oh - Tom Plumeri rigged his in-laws stove up so that thay could use either the thermowell OR a 9000 BTU burner. He did some retrofit work and rigged it so that they could switch in the small burner (without touching the t-well below) in about 5 minutes. Of course, it was the regular burner, not the super-duper version. Now if you could switch in the 12,000 BTU burner, that would be cool.

This will most likely considered blasphemy but... I actually like the fact that I've got four burners (ducking)! I love using my cast iron dutch oven for slow cooking. Everything just TASTES better.
I didn't know that my fourth burner is a higher BTU. That rocks! My first canning experience, once I install my Chambers, is going to be Candied Jalapenos. Some for us and the rest for holiday gift baskets.
Chipper... yes, my 41CC has a Durachrome top. YIPPEEE! My excitement might change if I can't polish it to my satisfaction. The cost of re-plating it scares me.
It seems like everything cycles through ebay eventually. Of course, you could be waiting for a good long time. There are TONS of B parts on right now.

Yep Jenn I've been eyeing some parts on E-bay.
Tomorrow I'm going to try to clean my griddle using amonia like Asfan recommended, but using a method I saw on the Queen of Clean. Or I might bid on the one on E-bay and have a spare. I can not figure out if the high bidder is someone on this board. The bidder is jhfamsix. Anyone know before I bid??
Is piewagon on E-bay a member of this board?? I was thinking if could possibly be Joe. I would just hate to bid against a member of this board!!

Joe placed a bid on the double broiler insert under the name "josepho6444" a couple days ago, so unless he has more than one ebay acct., you're safe.

WOOOOHOOOO! I went to storage today to get all the parts I am taking to Gigi's and, YES I do have the daisy burner! Another bonis was that all the parts I wanted to take had alredy been removed (did that when we picked it up).
Hi Y'All,
I'm the owner of the stove listed on Ebay. It's a model 41-C and the rear burner is 12,000BTUs. It has six daisie's and it gives off a lot of heat! Perfect for canning and Dutch Ovens.
If you guys need any more information, before it 'goes', let me know an I will try my best to answer any questions.
Has anyone seen one like it elsewhere?
It was a special promotional range built is 1955 so that Chambers had a stove at a more competitive price. They ran advertisements selling it for $299 and you had to trade in your old stove. I wonder what they did with the trade-ins?
Well, I guess I'm going to have to change my name soon. I finally found a stove that fit all my criteria. I did all kinds of searches on the web and found this one on some obscure classified site. I was surprised when I saw it and it was missing the T-well! It has the large burner on the back. After some carefull thought and consideration, I'm taking her anyway! Please don't make me lament too much!
You could always construct a ThermoDOME - it was what CHAMBERS used before they recessed it and it became the ThermoWELL.
OK, I'll bite. Todd, how do you construct a Thermodome?
Found this interesting item on Ebay: 4435745635
MIRRO Thermowell Stove Pot & NORGE Deepwell Insert. "... vintage MIRRO THERMOWELL/DEEPWELL POT and LID and it has the STOVE HEATING ELEMENT PIECE AND ALUMINUM SLEEVE PIECE THAT GOES DOWN INTO THE WELL OF THE STOVE."
Anyone know anything about these? I am currently the high bidder, but I didn't put in much of a bid, if anyone else wants it.
