Hi!

The principle of fireless cooking was incorporated by John Chambers in his patented range of 1912. He insulated the oven so well that one could cook in it using retained heat, with the gas turned off.

This turned into a 60+ year episode in the history of fireless cooking. The Chambers Range became the premier range for home and professional use for many years. It's quality of manufacture, coupled with it's fireless cooking features (in the oven and ThermoDome, which later became the ThermoWell), made it one of the most highly sought after vintage ranges today.

In addition to healthful benefits from retained heat cooking, the Chambers is an energy miser, saving as much as 1/3 the amount of gas needed to cook the same food in an ordinary range by using retained heat cooking methods. The CHAMBERS was - and is - one of the most innovative ranges ever built.

So many were made that they are still available for reasonable prices, and parts and service can still be had for them.

If you're looking for fireless cooking without having to build your own fireless cooker, the CHAMBERS is the way to go!
