Our Aga Cookers come in two designs; as above 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.
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.

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.
