I think the Brickstone was rated at around 35K BTU's and will hold about 30lbs of coal. Easy burn time of at least 12 hours. I will dig out the original specs and post them. Like all Chubby's they are built like tanks. We still have all the original molds so there is a good chance the Brickstone will make a return to production at some point. And yes I have dibs on the first one off the line.

Meanwhile at the Chubby "Skunkworks" office Larry is up to his eyes and elbows banging out the Chubby Grill, The Chubby Grill/Smoker Combo unit and some other stuff I can't get into yet.

The only other Chubby stove rarer than the Brickstone is the Coal Chubby Insert which I will also post a pic of when I can dig one out of the arcives in Larry's basement.

edit 9/5/16 I off about the Brickstone specs. The correct specs are posted below.

Awesome! Really hope things take off for the Chubby Coal Stove Company. If you ever want to get big there are so many opportunities in North Central Ma. Lot's of skilled labor and empty factory buildings combined with lower costs. Taxes, Property, etc.

Thanks ASea. Slow and steady wins the race. Sad thing is there are plenty of empty manufacturing spaces all over Taxachusetts with an abundance of skilled labor to boot.

I wish I could start some sort of factory making who knows what. We have rail,highway, and river access for power. The opportunities that exist for innovators. We need to deregulate and look at how we tax businesses.

Would be nice to see some details about the brickstone stove like the grates...and other specs and also for the insert one. I let my lap top ON, waiting for the specs

.
Seriously, the Brickstone is a very nice stove. It would be a great stove for the present times.

Specs for the Chubby Brickstone for all to enjoy... The grates are rockers with a dump feature...

Very similar to the Chubby Sr maybe a bit bigger fire pot. Hope Larry makes them again. It looks great would make an awesome stoker platform. These pellet people need to get with the program and switch to coal. Way more BTUS

Is the Brickstone ever going to be made again? I want one.....

While the Brickstone may have historical significance, it was the round firepot that defined the Chubby and put it on the coal map.

The Brickstone is not likely to ever be made again. Chubby = round. If I am wrong, Larry can shoot me.

That is NOT what I wanted to hear Lobsterman!

But...i was afraid that would be the case too.
