Looks like a nice one Ms. V!
I bought one a few weeks ago, too. I was pretty excited to get it for a "mere" $4.99, but the shipping cost me about $17, thus taking away some of the "good deal" aspect of the excitement. I was really impressed when it arrived, though. Lisk roasters were made to last.
Enjoy!

Okay, I've got a question about the lisk roaster and I think Todd has the answer for me. It might have been aswered in a previous post, but I can't find it.
Did lisk make the roasters for chambers with the two vents on top? If so what's the purpose of the two vents versus one?

LISK made roasters in Canandiagua, New York from 1905 until they were killed off my corporate mergers in 1966. Literally millions of them were made.
The patented (1911) "Sanitary Self-Basting Roaster" came with two vents.
When CHAMBERS designed their larger oven for the A-series, it was built around the most popular LISK sizes. Th B- and C-series were, as well.
By 1939, the second vent was gone in the LISK catalogues, and CHAMBERS dealers were selling them that way. It is not clear if CHAMBERS sold the single-vent versions first, then LISK changed all of their production models to follow suit, or whether CHAMBERS merely started marketing the roasters about the time LISK changed the lid design.
From a history/stove geek:
What a fix! Thanks... So cool.

Proud owner of a double vent Lisk roaster, robin's egg blue.
I went antiquing (sp?) on the way home from Disney and didn't see a roaster that size under $45.00, and all of them had some type of damage and NO inserts. I did find one of the triangular canister sets ($15.00) and a heavy triangular pot that will fit in the thermowell ($7.00).
We must have looked thru literally a 1000 booths and no "Chambers" pots at all. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the canisters set. I thought I'd hit the jackpot!
We've got the Robins Egg Blue double vent roaster also and that double vent is a very nice feature. You can really adjust the flow of air through the roaster and get just the finish you're aiming for.
Gyro (can't remember the full spelling!), aka Peter, will be sending me a scan of an original Lisk roaster ad, and select Lisk recipes from a vintage book he got off of e-Bay, to be posted on the Convention site.
That will be fun - I'll bet we'll all learn a little more about these roaster.
I have a single and a double vented roaster. They are in great condition, but the enamel could use a good shine - it's rather dull (not surprising, given their age.) Does anyone have any good tips for making enamel pretty again?
t.
try one third baking soda, one third powdered water softner and one third baking soda. wet the surface, apply the mixture and rub away. that recipe will shine almost anything up.
OK, made Chicken Spaghetti for an army in my borrowed roaster from Lori.
Even better the second time around because I added cheese. The kids thought it was a winner, and you know how picky they are.
Now to search and find out theory behind the tray, and vent holes in the lid...v
