That is one heck of a stove. Now, I know where Bryian will be, if he’s not at home – cooking on your stove! ;)

I can’t wait to see you kitchen when it’s done. :)

Morganna and I call it the Stove of Love And Beauty.

;-)

I have a picture of a huge one that comes in purple–”aubergine” to be precise–that I need to show Howie. The thing was nine feet long or so–it was a unit like mine, a flattop grill and a regular AGA four oven unit with two hobs on it all put together.

It is a scary thing. It is the demonstration model that they have out at Clintonville Electric.

If there is a stove that makes me salivates, then this is it. Love the color and size and all the extras.
May I ask about the price?

If I wasn’t planning on staying in this house the rest of my life and if I didn’t cook as much as I do, I would never, ever spend so much on a stove–I am generally frugal (some might say cheap) by nature.

But, if you look at the link to AGA–you will see the starting price for them–astronomical.

That said, there is a less expensive model, which doesn’t go up to as many BTU’s, which is made of enamelled steel, not cast iron, and which is very nice–that is the Legacy model. And I thought about getting that one.

But, it is not that much less expensive, and I really wanted a high powered burner for the amount of wok cookery I do, so…there we are.

Besides, I love AGAs–the original type of them has been in production for several hundred years–and I first saw them sixteen years ago in London and fell in love with them, and vowed that one day, I would have a kitchen where I could have such a wonderful cookstove.

Just beautiful, worth every penny, I think. I saw some of these stoves on some episodes of food and H&G network, admired them, but didn’t know the history or model name, details etc.,

I showed your stove photo to Vijay. He loved it, impressed with the quality. If we ever buy a house here, we know what we want for our kitchen. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful thing(&link) with us.
