I’ve just finished reading a book “The House We Grew Up In” by Lisa Jewell and the term “Aga” comes up again and again. I knew it was some kind of kitchen appliance, but I was curious… So glad I did a search here on KZbin. Cheers.

When I grew up in Englad we had an Aga, it was fantastic. Yes it stays warm all the time, ours was fuled by Coal. The Aga heated our water and gave us central heating. It was fantastic, have very fond memories of our Aga, I miss it.

It must have been a long time ago and a very old Aga, because Aga ranges don't run on coal or any other solid fuel and haven't done for decades. They only run on electricity, gas (natural or LPG), or heating oil, depending on the model chosen. A Rayburn (manufactured by Aga) is another matter. They can run on all the above fuels, plus models that run on solid fuel (coal, wood or peat).

So, it radiates a lot of heat. Hardly "efficient" energy (fuel) use. Of course, if you were in Britain and burned peat from the bog, it made little difference.

A friend lives in the wood and wood is put into that oven. Looks a little bit different but it is mostly the same. Plus the center of central heating.

I've been watching the UK show "Escape to the Country"...and many time one of the requirements of the home buyer is a "range cooker" and when they visit the houses this is what they are happy about finding in the kitchen. So I decided to do a search to see more about it. Makes me wish I had one to cook with/in/on...here in America.

If you're uncertain, you'll need a structural engineer to check your kitchen floor and need to call your insurance company, if you're considering a model that's "always on".

@@user-fs5lc2dl7t Obviously I don't know about the climate where you live, but you have to remember that those cookers were from a time when central heating was uncommon. They have a nostalgic appeal and are beautiful in their way. Given the choice, I'd rather have something like a La Cornue stove. The French make some beautiful things, but I've lived in houses that cost less! Hope you hit the lottery.

There is now a new kid in the AGA block the Dual. It is a combination of the AGA with the radiant heat and the Total Control in that the main part of the AGA is the traditional layout with large cast bits that heat up and retain the heat but the top plates can be easy switched on and off so are controllable. Running costs for this AGA compared with the AGA where all of it stays on all the time are very favourable and I am pretty positive that the Dual will become AGAs top selling cooker.

It's from England where it's often cold, damp, and rainy. You're correct with modern electic ranges, central air and today's building standards it makes an old fashioned always-on coal burning AGA somewhat obsolete but still useful

I live in a pretty warm part of the world. If it's constantly giving off heat that seems like it would be a problem. For cold wet England or a colder climate I guess makes sense? Even England is not cold all the time so even that sounds not great. *Confused*

Hi there, we have models that are designed to remain on all of the time but many of our newer models are electric and can be switched on and off as necessary, so you can control the heat in your kitchen and the energy you use.
