Does anyone have one?... There's hundreds of them, which do I get? :/

I like this one...

[Livia]

I have an AGA multifuel stove and it's great but they're really expensive. It was in the house when I bought it otherwise I'd have got something cheaper. a friend of mine's just had one installed and he thinks they're pretty much of a muchness... but you do need your chimney properly lined.

Oh I loooooove AGAs, I wanted one so badly when we were getting our kitchen re done, I settled for a cheaper imitation though It's electric, it just looks similar to an AGA (we're not on mains gas)


RE the OP, my mom has one of those but I couldn't tell you much about it, sorry!

I haven't got an AGA stove, like a cooker... I've got an AGA multifuel burner, like this:



I've got a range cooker but it's electric, and pretty much wasted with my culinary skills.

The one you have chosen is very nice Kizzy, I did look into this some time back, the stove itself is the cheapest part of the installation from memory it cost around 2,000 to line the chimney and ensure it is all sealed etc, it wasn't cost effective for us as we don't plan on staying in this house so we wouldn't get the investment back, also if you do plan to do it, it might be worth looking at linking it to your water heating system so that you are also heating water when it is being used otherwise its just basically heating one room

There's nothing like having a real fire, it's definitely worth it.

100%, we have an open fire in our sitting room and we have an electric fire in our bedroom which is grand for heating up the room and it looks nice but it's a different type of heat, it kind of gets stuffy or something

It is a different kind of heat. I love the smell, when you walk in from the cold and the fire's alight. I could stare at it for hours it's better than the telly some nights. I have a cast iron thing for a wood burner that you can cook baked potatoes in, and toasts never tastes better than when it's done with a fork over a flame.

How would you have me heat my house?

[Gusto Brunt]

You need one to cook crumpets over.

We have an open fire too,I wouldn't be without it,I don't even mind getting the ashes out,so comforting and warms the room a treat.

I have an open fire but have never had a fire in it in 17 years.

No got gas central heating.

[smudgie]

I would love one.
Seriously thinking of it if we get a sun lounge on the back of the house, then it would be cosy all year round.
Just have to persuade hubby he will love lighting and cleaning it out.
