Identify, Set up and Use Chambers models A, B and BZ
While the Chambers C certainly gets the most attention, the A, B and BZ are great stoves that can be used in any kitchen. Let's take a look at each one of them.
How to Identify and Set up a Chambers Model A
The Chambers Model A was sold between 1936 and 1938. It was the first time Chambers offered just one stove for residential use and really stands at the turning point of the modernization of our kitchens. It’s almost completely undocumented, though, leaving owners and fans to hunt for scraps of information scattered across the internet. Here, for the first time to my knowledge, is an extensive walkthrough of what makes a model A so unique.
The Chambers Model B: How to Identify It and Set One Up
The Chambers Model B was made from 1939 through 1948. It underwent multiple small changes over the years (and one big one in 1948). So let’s take a look at how to identify one, what options were available that might make your stove look a little different, and then talk about how to set one up so it works perfectly in your kitchen.
Walkthrough of the Chambers Model BZ
The Chambers model BZ was only made for one year (1948) but is one of the most famous Chambers stoves thanks to popular videos about it on TikTok. It’s a step in the evolution from the model B to the model C and has a lot going for it. Let’s take a look at what makes the BZ something special and worthy of the attention it gets.
The BZ is mechanically identical to the B – the parts that are different don’t affect the way anyone will work on it (unless you’re doing a full restoration or are hunting for parts).
