AGA Stories - with the fuel type "Oil" (209)

In praise of the Aga – Chris Nelms

This is a piece I originally wrote for the Cottage Smallholder website: Louise and I were fortunate to inherit a nearly new four-oven oil-burning Aga when we bought this house. We had no experience of Agas and no friends with Agas. I trawled the ...

Determination – Richard

We wanted to put an Aga into our single storey kitchen but the Aga rep said that the chimney would be too low and there would be problems with down-draught. So ... we extended the kitchen, built a bedroom above it and generally revamped the whole ...

THE HEART OF THE HOME – THE HEART OF THE HOME

We inherited our AGA when we bought our house nearly 25 years ago and for all that time it has continued to be the 'heart of the home'. In the early days I was called Alfred because I burned everything but a cooker timer soon sorted that out! Now...

My Aga – Linda

My Wonderful Aga – Susie

I'm not 'Aga proud' or anything but I really do love my Aga. When it comes to Christmas though I often with I had more ovens. I would normally get up in the middle of the night on Christmas eve and put my turkey in, and leave it till the afternoon...

my Aga saga – Phyllis

began in 1943 when my younger sister arrived and the decision was made to make life easier for my Mother and discard the coal stove. The solid fuel model involved much riddling at night and refilling but was a definite success, especially at break...

Inheritance! – Caramac

I was really rather scared of our Aga (it came with the house) but I was safe - thankfully there was a separate electric hob and I had my trusty (and enormous) combination microwave... 2 years later, when we remodelled the kitchen (well, ripped it...
