I have a griddle cover, but it looks pretty poorly from rust. I haven't tried to hit it with the steel wool yet to see if I could improve its appearance.
I could take a pic, but you'd probably want to see a nicer one than that.

Chipper, it's a harsh way to go, but CLR may work on the griddle cover.
Oh, another pic to add to the list... The double boiler attachment (also used for making ice cream). Don, I know you were looking for one. Do you know where to get a picture of illustration?

Idid win a double boiler insert, as soon as i get it i'll get a pic out I aslo have 2 types of griddle cover, i'll also get pics of. One is an original cover. the other is one i'm trying to manufacture at a resonable cost. Stainless is so expensive I'm looking at other materials. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks Don

I have the double boiler, so I can take pics of that (I have a set of the old doubles with the Chambers 'fireless cooker' logo too, which are the ones that apparently were sold with A & earlier models & are not marked wearever).

Here's the griddle cover. Notice the clip in front. Very important. It holds the cover on so that you don't have to take it off when you lift the griddle.

I've been blinded by the shine! What a beautiful stove top and griddle cover.
I can't see my poor rusted cover ever looking that good, regardless of how many toxic chemicals or elbow grease I expose it to.

Mine looked pretty bad Jenn, but I cleaned it with SOS pads, then used naval jelly on the worst spots and then polished it with Mother's Aluminum polish. Alas, I am missing the clip......Loxie has a beautiful example! I use mine and it looks quite nice and it does do a good job of protecting the griddle from those everyday cooking splatters.

I have the one with the clip too. However, I need to put a backing on the cover itself. The one I got was totally rotted. Does anyone have suggestions on what to put on the back of the griddle cover?

I didn't know there was a clip for the cover. Now that I do know I need/want one.
As for the cover itself, I wanted to remove the asbestos backing but I don't know how to do it safely. Any suggestions? I wasn't planning on putting anything on the back of the cover but I may be all wrong about that. I guess I was thinking that I would remove the cover when I was using the broiler. I don't think the asbestos backing would actually keep the griddle cover cool would it?
The other day I was making cookies near dinner time so there was heat coming out of the stove and the vent was on. I needed to preheat the broiler for dinner. Anyone coming into the kitchen would have no idea from the looks of things that the griddle was hot assuming that the heat and the vent were because of the cookies. I can see how someone could easily get burned. If I had the griddle cover on when not using the broiler/griddle, then removing it and setting it aside would let people know that the griddle was on.

You do need a backing for the griddle cover. Since mine doesn't have one it moves around, even with the clip because the thickness of the cover is off. It also doesn't lay totally flat.

I don't know where you'd get this material in a format suitable for this application but.... these days they are making soft rubbery (silicone?) muffin pans, bakeware, and I've this stuff used as potholders (HEY! That might be the ticket!) It's soft and pliable and heat resistant. I know you wouldn't leave your cover one while using the griddle or broiler but, just incase...
Whatcha think?

As for the silicone itself, you can buy cookie sheet liners or maybe the extra large potholders/counter trivets (they're in the 12" square range). Then you could just trim it to size. I think it might work well, but I'm not sure how you'd attach the silicone sheeting to the griddle cover.
The silicone has the advantage of being kind of tacky, and that could help with the rattle/slippage factor, even if the clip is missing.

I would think you would want to investigate the fume/toxic properties, but there has to be some some of suitable adhesive you could use.

I removed the asbestos backing because it scorched (go figure). It can be removed safely if it isn't "friable"- i.e. if it's intact. To keep it from sliding around without the backing, just bend the clip so it fits snugly. If you don't have a clip, you can probably fashion one very easily with some sheet metal. I would like to put another backing on it. It wouldn't have to be glued if you uncrimp the edges, slide the new backing in and re-crimp.

Post by chipperhiker on Mar 28, 2007 16:51:00 GMT -5
The crimping would work for some replacement backings, but the silicone stuff is pretty floppy. I would think that without some adhesive that it would fall out eventually or be saggy in the middle.
Well, If I ever get mine cleaned up, then I might give it a try.

That thingy I'm looking for is a broiler serving rack...I thought somewhere in the internet, someone placed instructions on how to make one...or was that my imagination?

Berlyn, do you have a picture of one? It seems like it would be pretty straight-forward to make. Not too different from a cutting board.
Jack
OK, I'm an idiot, I just read your initial post requesting a photo. It seems like one was posted, maybe on the first Hostboard site.

Wecome, Tina! How long have you been a Chambersaholic??? What kind do you have, and since when? Do tell. Your fellow addicts want to know.
About those broiler serving racks, Jack (and Berlyn, though I know you have a pic now): there's an accessories brochure on the vintagechambers.com site. The serving rack is in there, as a model for those intrepid woodworkers among us!

hello, thanks for the welcome. got my 1st low back C as a gift about 9 yrs ago (needs a complete overhaul). purchased my next 90C in white for $75 from a local church. next 2 from ebay 90C in yellow & grey (still grieving over selling the yellow in perfect condition). found another 90C in blue & a white B model. all except the grey need lots of cleaning. almost won a red 90C on ebay for $800, but accidently hit the esc key on my computer & lost the auction at the last second. still having nightmares about that after 3 years. Still hoping to stand in the same room with a green. i could just see my jadite collection near a light green chambers range. so glad i found this site with the restoration stories. can't wait to get started. my first restoration will be for my house. i had decided on the grey for the house, but after seeing the restoration of big bertha, now i'm confused on whether i'd rather have the model B to play with. she turned out just beautiful. i already have most of the accessories for the stove (thermabaker, single pot with double boiler, double & triple pots, pot lifters, & lisk roaster). found the single w/ double boiler, double & triple pots & lifters at a yard sale of an antique dealer for $10.00. i almost fainted. she thought it was camping equipment. ;D ;D ;D i could talk about chambers stoves all night but my husband just came in and i have got to go fix him a bite to eat. glad i found yall, tina

Wow, Tina!!! You're serious about this! What part of the country are you in to have so much Chambers luck come your way? Are you using any of your gems yet? The whole super set of pots for 10 bucks is unbelievable.
I have a green 90C, and if you're ever in the neighborhood, you're welcome to check it out. I think it's beautiful. Of course, so are all the other colors. Maybe it will even be up and running someday! I've also got blue and yellow 61Cs.
