criminy, that is like 20 mins away

A year ago I def would have taken it, but ive since bought a range.

The cabs, tho, they can keep. That kinda look gives distressing a bad name!

Ok, now I really feel like an idiot! Already have a Chambers (half the size, cost more after restoration), but would have LOVED that instead, mostly for the extra woodstove in winter!

I bookmarked the site, thanks.

Yeah, I didn't want to be the first to say it, but that kitchen finish kinda reminds me of the color of dinosaur hide that bad artists imagine when making picture books for children.

I don't suppose I can make my husband drive across North America with a cargo trailer twice in three months, sigh...

How nice if it could find a good GW home!

wow, becky... you got him to do it once already?!

i wish i could buy it, but it would take up half my kitchen!

when i showed my dh the picture of farmgirlinky's aga, he said, "oh, and they have little one that you want." of course he was talking about the 24" aga companion to their beauty.

anyhow, yes it would nice if it could find a good GW home.

thank you for sharing. :)

Hey, they do deliver.

I just want to buy it. Just to have it! What a deal!

Does anyone know anything about this range? Hard to find info on the 60"....Also, I know this has been discussed before but...this range vs. DF 48"Wolf. Thoughts?
Thanks!

Oh that is a beauty!

Vinogirl, the Aga...not the Aga Legacy, but the traditional Aga cooker...is very unlike a Wolf or other modern stoves. The traditional Aga is always on. Always. So it is always radiating heat. The Aga cooker cooks through stored heat. You cook food at lower or higher temps by choosing which oven/hot plate to cook the dish in. I think someone who owns one could explain it much better than I, but a traditional Aga and a Wolf are two very different beasts.

I found this site which seems to explain the Aga cooker pretty well.

Here is a link that might be useful: explains the principles behind the Aga

I love the look of an Aga, but they are intimidating to use. I had a very real concern I would put one in and not have a workable kitchen. And since I do like to actually use kitchens, as well as look at them ...

What i find telling is how often people supplement the Aga (here and abroad) with another smaller cooktop, and sometimes also a wall oven! It is almost as if the Aga is a prop!

But I would like to ask dear Marthavila to chime in, as she has and uses and Aga, whereas I have only lusted after them.

Not sure if anybody is interested, but there was a Heartland Cooker on clearance at a local appliance store in Louisville, KY. They are seriously trying to unload it. It wasn't what I was looking for...but they ordered it by mistake and just want to find it a home...

A while back, Marthavila posted a perfectly brilliant detailed explanation of the Aga and its various permutations. Definitely a must read for those considering an Aga!

And Nancy, what a steal that is. Keep 'em coming!

ironcook, sorry, lost this thread and didn't see your note.

Yes, we made the drive from western Canada in Jan-Feb. My mother died in Nov. and the NYC landlord gave us 90 days to empty her rent control apartment. We made the drive with our 16' cargo trailer, and stopped at the border to get everything sorted out and approved. We took what we could -- what's left of my parents' lives and my childhood is in that trailer, sigh -- and took the rest to Salvation Army, etc. But it was packed and there wouldn't have been room for a toaster oven let alone an Aga!
