Chambers D "Jasper" 38"
Chambers D "Jasper" 38"
When the Chambers model D hit the market in the late 60’s, it still had all the features that made Chambers famous (“In-A-Top” broiler, retained heat cooking in the oven and ThermoWell). The problem, though, was that the folks driving the boat had inexplicably ditched the beautiful styling for Bauhaus bombast, with LOTS of sharp angles and corners to trap dirt and grease. Adding insult to injury were 4 constantly burning pilots for the oven, broiler, ThermoWell, and cooktop burners that made a mockery of the marketing pitch for a stove that “Cooks with the gas turned off”. It’s no wonder the late, un-lamented Model D was the end of the line for the brand.
We’re not doing a good job of selling this guy, are we?
Well, we suppose it does have it’s own unique charm for someone out there. If that’s you, hey, no judgement! We will sell you this stove. Besides, Jasper has solid engineering and build quality (IE, it works really well!), and is in very nice shape.
