Five Free Stoves
I’ve had these sitting under a tarp since last year when I tried to find them a good home…As much as it pains me they are going to the recycling center on Friday unless someone wants them! There is the large one in the pic and some 20″ Welbilt stoves as well. Email for directions…

They will need TLC but were working when they were removed from the property.
Fingers crossed someone can use them somehow.

Last I checked build it greene wouldn’t take them because they had a few and they are not big movers. I was there this weekend and did see one antique stove, but not the same. I will try again though. Two people have responded who want one so hopefully they will fix them up! Still have some left!!
Why don’t you donate them to Build It Green? They can re-sell them, you can take the tax write off and the stoves will eventually find a good home.

I use a Chambers stove from the 40’s. It’s a great stove, same one Rachel Ray has. I enjoy it however, old stove always need a little TLC. Keep in mind that the oven on many cheap vintage stoves have poor insulation. So if you’re a serious cook buy a high end one. A stock stove of this vintage should have a pilot light for the burners that at times may go out so you need to know how to tinker with it. The oven gets lighted by hand unless you you get a pilot installed. There’s always a risk of blow back in lighting an oven if you lack experience or you’re not paying attention. It will take so time for your eyebrows to grow back. So, I guess what I’m saying is, if you’re not handy stay away from vintage stoves. But if you are handy and up for the adventure go for it.
Would love to have one of these gas ranges in the house! Friends of mine who got one of these in Massachusetts said that they had to have an automatic safety pilot installed on theirs before a plumber would touch theirs. Are there any such precautions for installing an antique like these here in NYC?
