Our Aga Cookers come in two designs; the older style Aga,
which is called the Classic, and also the Deluxe style which is illustrated below. The two different styles are the same price.
We do not differentiate.
This Aga has 2 ovens. The top oven is the main cooking oven with the bottom oven
used for simmering.
In a purpose built gas Aga the controls are situated behind the left hand single
door. The purpose built oil Aga has the controls situated externally on the left
or right.
With a converted gas or oil Aga the controls can be situated to the left or right
and be hidden in a cupboard as in the picture above or sit happily on the side of
the Aga. The top of the Aga consists of 2 round, flat cooking plates with lids.
The lids can be either chrome or enamel depending on choice.
Dimensions: Height 851 mm Width
987 mm Depth 679 mm
The 4 oven Aga has a roasting oven, a baking oven, a simmering oven and a warming
oven. In a purpose built gas Aga the controls are situated behind the single middle
door of the Aga.
The oil Aga and the converted Aga have the controls at the side; left or right to
suit.
The top of the Aga has two round, flat cooking plates with insulated lids and a
large square, flat plate for warming, with no lid. This flat plate can be removed
and the Aga fitted with a gas or electric hob for extra cooking potential.

Should I chose an original gas/oil Aga or a converted
Aga? A lot of people are under the misconception that a converted Aga Cooker will
not perform as efficiently as a purpose built Aga. I have been successfully converting
Aga Cookers for many years now (see conversions page). All Aga Cookers work on the
same principal - small heat sources warming up a large amount of cast metal.
The heat is retained within a well insulated body, with the hot plate and simmer
plate directly under two insulated lids and a large roasting oven and large simmering
oven. The ovens are set at a constant temperature. To vary the temperature of the
cooking the oven racks can be placed higher or lower in the ovens.
In my opinion the original solid fuel Aga when converted is a superior cooker compared to the
purpose built Aga because all the castings in these cookers were originally designed
to take the rigors of solid fuel. The castings are heavier and more robust, retaining
better heat than modern day purpose built cookers.
