J.A. ROBY Chief Wood Cookstove

Grand High-Back Cookstove with Baking Oven & Upper Warming Oven — Model CHIEF (CBCH)

Elevate your kitchen into a grand culinary center with authentic wood-fired cooking and dependable whole-home warmth. Handcrafted in Quebec, the official J.A. ROBY Chief (Model CBCH) is the flagship of the eco-friendly cookstove collection. Standing on a solid pedestal base with dual cast iron doors—one arched for viewing the dancing fire and one square for monitoring the baking oven—it combines a large glass baking oven, an expansive 39 ⅞" overhead food warming closet, and a solid cooktop with three removable burner lids. Generating up to 70,000 BTU/h to warm areas up to 1,800 square feet with an ultra-clean 1.88 g/h EPA rating, it lets you roast, bake, simmer, and warm family feasts simultaneously—completely off the electrical grid.

• Full-Sized Off-Grid Baking Oven: Features a generous 17 ½" W × 12 ½" H × 18 ¾" D glass-door baking oven with an integrated precision thermometer, allowing you to bake pies, roast meats, and prepare casseroles during winter power outages.
• Cooktop with 3 Removable Lids: Heavy-duty top cooking surface includes three removable burner covers with an included lid lifter, giving you direct high-flame heat for rapid boiling or gentle simmering zones.

• Clean-Burning & Firewood-Saving: Certified to EPA 2020 Method 28R and CSA B415.1-10 with a clean particulate emission rate of just 1.88 g/h, squeezing maximum heat from every cord while keeping chimney creosote to a minimum.
