Chubby Stove Manufacturing has opted into the NEPA CROSSROADS - NEPA DIGITAL anthracite coal forum. Here, our customers will be able to communicate openly about topics of interest to them. This does not in any way eliminate our open phone policy. You can still call the company owner directly, Larry Trainer at 781-293-7990 anytime for immediate attention. Our policy of superb customer service still remains, this forum is an enhancement of our commitment to the burning of anthracite coal.
Mission:
Spreading the word! Anthracite home heating is the best.
I've asked.. Chubby Stove customer, forum member, field tester, ONEDOLLAR to assist me overseeing ongoing discussions on the forum. I am available to answer questions by phone, directly on this forum or through my forum representative. ONEDOLLAR is burning the very first newly made Chubby since 1985. He is totally qualified as a Coal Stove Chubby owner to answer your general operational questions. I will also be available here as time permits to play in the piles of coal with you.
As any of our customers will tell you.. "We totally get it" – without you there is no us! After 35 years We are grateful for your ongoing support.
Lastly, Special thanks to the Mayor, Richard for maintaining this wonderful forum!

Thanks windyhill4.2 - Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You've got a nice stove there. I knew Mr Crane back when your unit was being made. Good unit, very good company. Maybe someday we will see Doug making new ones!! Never say never.
In any event I appreciate you looking in on us.

Glad to have you on board Larry although ONEDOLLAR made sure you were only a key stroke or phone call away. There seems to be 2 kinds of coal burners, those with a Chubby and those without...yet!

Larry,
It’s great to see Chubby Stoves continued success, your presents in the forum will further enhance this.
I’m sure you will make this a great success just as you have with everything to do with Chubby Stoves.
After all it’s the people behind the product that take it from a good product to a great product!
All the best to you.

Hey neighbor! Thank you very much. This is kind of like watching one of your kids grow up. This whole trip began in Plymouth, MA. where you live 35 years ago. My first shop was in Cordage Park!! From there the Coal Stove Chubby took off like a jet. It is so nice to hear from you there in Americas Home Town. Thanks CoalCaptain - LT
