Abstract: We construct stable solutions of $Deltau+lambda{e}^u=0$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions in small tubular domains (i.e. geodesic $varepsilon$--neighbourhoods of a curve $Lambda$ embedded in $mathbb{R}^n$), adapting the arguments of Pacard-Pacella-Sciunzi. We also show unicity of these solutions, in particular, we show that the stable branch of the bifurcation diagram is similar to the well-known nose-shaped diagram of the standard Gelfand problem in the unit ball. In this work, $Lambda$ can be replaced by any compact smooth manifold embedded in $mathbb{R}^n$.
