Sometimes I wish the internet didn't exist.
Someone is selling an Aga built in 1930 for about 750 dollars. Plus, the Aga is right here in my hometown.
What to do???

Can't remember ever hearing of them, but a web search shows AGA is still in business. http://www.aga-ranges.com/
Their website has a history of the company in the "About us" section. http://www.aga-ranges.com/about-us/history.aspx
It'd be interesting to see more pictures, especially of the internals and how it works.

I believe AGA stoves are made in the UK. It would be interesting to see what grates are in it because they don't normally burn anthracite coal in the UK.Sunny Boy wrote:Can't remember ever hearing of them, but a web search shows AGA is still in business. http://www.aga-ranges.com/

Buy it ! That's what you do and if you don't like it sell it to me ! This is the exact stove I had been looking for in my kitchen for a while . It is from the UK and I'm surprised it's in the states . They work amazing . We have friends that have one and they run their radiators, hot water heater and cook on it all with a minimal amount of coal. I am rather sure it can burn anthracite as well as bit coal from the one I saw . It has a small fire box but plenty to do the intended job. Let me know how it goes ?EarthWindandFire wrote:Sometimes I wish the internet didn't exist.

Ask for Geno. He WILL give you a good deal and will be in constant contact until and after you get the stove. I can't say anything bad about him. He's a school teacher also. Nice guy.Smokeyja wrote:Steve this is the kind of stuff I was asking about earlier in this thread! This is good looking stuff! and considering it wouldn't be our main stove it would work perfect. and wow what a price! I just might buy one... seriously!SteveZee wrote:Looks just like this Magnum which is a coal/wood dual fueler. They make a soap stone version too.

Josh,
The Aga's are great stoves but for the requirements that you described a Rayburn may be best for your needs. In short, Rayburns are "designed" to do what you want whereas Aga has gone in a different direction.

Do drop in, We have folks in almost every day. There are about 300 stoves here right now and antique mechanical music etc. We do loads of ranges in both coal and wood. They come in all sizes and shapes so spend some time looking. Emery
