Where To Get Literature For Your -

"Fireless" Gas Ranges and Stoves

I have spent the last four and one-half years looking for pictures and original literature for the different models of CHAMBERS products. All of the literature I offer here are done so as a service to Chambers owners, and, with the exception of one, are all high-quality copies of actual originals published by CHAMBERS. In addition, these are not pirated copies - permission of the copyright owner was obtained before I ever started producing them, and it remains so unto this day.

You may wonder why you should pay for literature when you might be able to get it for less or for free from someone else.

Here are some thoughts on that for your consideration:

    1. With the exception of one, these are high-quality copies of originals, not copies of copies. I expect to have original for the other one shortly.
    2. These copies are produced with the permission of the copyright owner.
    3. The pricing on these products is modest - it covers the cost of printing, plus provides a small amount to help offset my cost in making them, plus the time and money it takes to maintain this website and the Chambers Rangers Discussion Forum. I'm not getting rich here, folks - just trying to cover my costs for providing these services.
    4. I spend a LOT of time answering e-mail's, personal messages, questions on the Rangers Forum, and in personal telephone calls in order to help people get the most out of their CHAMBERS range. The money people pay for the purchase of literature I sell here helps offset that.

I hope this helps you understand why I have to charge for these products, and will not be offended by it. If you are, please let me know, and I will send you whatever you need for free.

    If you have any original literature for CHAMBERS products, would care to share it, let me know at the e-mail address listed below. I have some, but not much, and very little on the era before the "B" series or the later (1960's forward) models, so if you can help, I'd appreciate it!

    However, I do have the most important literature a CHAMBERS owner needs - THE COOKBOOKS & SERVICE MANUALS!

    Unless you have the cookbook CHAMBERS published for your range (stove), you really cannot appreciate how wonderfully well these units cook! Many CHAMBERS owners have lost their original operating literature, including the cookbook, cooking chart, and canning guide. Some got their stove second-hand, only to find out it did not come with these items. Not long ago, heard from a very nice lady in New York state who had been cooking on a CHAMBERS range for over 21 years, but had never cooked "with the gas turned off" - she was content to use it like any other stove (as if it were), but had no idea that her CHAMBERS was capable of SO MUCH MORE! She now has a cookbook, and is learning the joys of CHAMBERS cookery.

    Without the cookbook, cooking chart, and canning guide, you just don't know what you are missing!

    The other piece of literature that is essential to the CHAMBERS owner is the SERVICE MANUAL. It tells you how to calibrate, service, and repair you CHAMBERS, and is essential to making SURE your unit is operating properly!

    There are several places that you can purchase copies of the original CHAMBERS literature, and you are certainly welcome to purchase them from those sources. However, if you do not have the time or inclination to dig around and find sources for them, you can contact me at the e-mail address listed below, and I would be glad to help you.

    Below is a listing of all of the literature that I have that you will need in order to get the full benefit of CHAMBERS cookery:

    * For the "B", "BZ", and "C" Model CHAMBERS Ranges (and earlier ones, too!) -

* The "Idle Hour" Cookbook, Third Edition - Actually an Owner's Manual/Cookbook, this went through several revisions. You'll want the last one, which was published by Chambers after it was moved to Oxford, Mississippi. The largest and most informative of all of the Chambers cookbooks, this has a large number of recipes, and can also be used with ANY Chambers Range, including the Model "B", Model "BZ", and those that are equipped with an Oven Heat Control.

          Features Found In This Cookbook Include:

         * SIX Chapters - 80 pages - Covering use of the OVEN, THERMOWELL, BROILER, GRIDDLE, MENUS, & THERMOBAKER!
         * Topics covered include:
              > The Oven.
              > When To Sear On Top Burner.
                > When To Add Vegetables.
                > Miscellaneous Facts About Chambers "Oven" Cookery.
                > How To Use The Oven To Cook Beef, Pork, Lamb, Veal, Poultry, Fish, Vegetables, Desserts, and Pastries With The Gas Turned off!
                > How To Cook in the fabulous Chambers THERMOWELL With The Gas Turned off! This INCLUDES The Procedure For Making ICE CREAM In The THERMOWELL!
                > How To Cook Cook Beef, Pork, Lamb, Seafood, Vegetables, French Toast, & Sandwiches Using The In-A-Top Broiler and Griddle!
                > How To Use The Patented Chambers THERMOBAKER To Cook Biscuits, Rolls, Quick Breads, Cakes, Pies, Baked Potatoes, Beef, Pork, Poultry, and Vegetables By Cooking With The Gas Turned off!
                > How To Care For You Chambers Range.

There are lots of other recipe booklets, cookbooks, etc., that CHAMBERS printed over the years to go with the Idle Hour Cookbook, but they are of no real use if you don't have the cookbook itself. Actually an Owner's Manual/Cookbook, it contains so very much on how to use the exclusive CHAMBERS features to their full potential.

If you don't have the cookbook, start there, then add to your stash of CHAMBERS recipes, instructions, etc., as you feel you need to.

The "Idle Hour" Cookbook, Third Edition, comes in two convenient sizes:

* The "Idle Hour" Cookbook, Third Edition, Original Size - This is the small (6" x 9") cookbook for the "C", "B", "BZ", and other earlier models. It is the most comprehensive of all the cookbooks CHAMBERS produced. It is identical in every way to the original, but BETTER! It has been digitally copied and carefully cleaned up - the result is a cookbook that retains the vintage look of the original on the outside without the imperfections that standard copies retain on the inside! Softcover. Price: $15.00 each.

* The "Idle Hour" Cookbook, Third Edition, KITCHEN Size - Our exclusive creation, this is the same exact cookbook inside as the small (original) size, but with a BIG difference! The cleaned up original has been blown up to 8 1/2" x 11" size and bound in a 3-ring ClearVu binder.
