  1. I have a stove just like this. I did not know the year or model until I saw yours. Mine was in good shape when I found it, but inside is a little rusty. I want to replace drip rings,m but an't find them.Thanks so much for posting your stove here. Carolyn Huighes, San Antonio, Texas

  2. Hi Carolyn.....You should look for the tag on your stove and get the style # & serial # on them. This will tell you exactly what stove you have and even the year. Even though your stove looks exactly like mine, it could be a different year. If you don't know where the tag is, remove your right front burner/drip ring and look on the front of the thermowell. If your tag is still there, you'll see it attached by one screw.

    Are you familiar with the Chambers Rangers forum? If not, you should join us. It can be found at http://chambersrangers.proboards74.com There is someone there who probably has the drip rings you need...his name is Don. You can also search Ebay often. I see drip rings every once in a while there.

    Thanks for stopping by.
