You will need many lessons to learn how to use it, why do you want it I guess would be my question.

I wanted one forever... My friend learned how to cook on one in the Orkney Islands whilst cooking for an archeological crew and it used blocks of peat and Gwyneth Paltrow has one and probably even the Queen and they are just so fabulous looking... mind you, I hardly ever cook and I doubt if my floor could handle the strain of the ton or 2 that they weigh and they aren't quite au fait with the ecological green set but...oh well... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/7488832/My-aga-love-affair-is-cooling.html

So they make sense in Europe and England where central heating is not the norm but in NA where we all have central heating thety produce a lot of extra heat that really is a waste. As for 2 ovens there are ranges with double ovens in many sizes FYI Aga ovens are not that big.

You're right, it's different than the traditional cast iron AGA ranges. I'm sorry I can't answer your question, though... We've been looking at ranges for forever and keep coming back to the 36" Legacy because it looks amazing. But I'm nervous because I haven't found a whole lot of reviews. Good luck!

I found this forum a little helpful. Not sure if you've seen it yet...
