Converting Aga to solid fuel

[Mrblue5000]

I remember my parents converting an AGA cooker to burn oil back in the early 1970’s. I think it used to burn anthracite before that. We now have an oil fired Aga and I am curious has anyone got an Aga burning wood? Is it possible to convert a modern Aga to burn wood?

Unfortunately, I think the answer is no. Anthracite to oil yes, but not the other way round.

We had an oil fired Rayburn until we replaced it with a wood fired Esse Ironheart. Although we did not look to see if we could convert the Rayburn from oil to solid fuel I’d think after the numerous repairs the Rayburn had had that the conversion (if at all possible) it would be a monumental task that would simply not be worth it when you take into account the efficiency of modern stoves.

Rip the dinosaur out and bang something that’s genuinely up to the task that you’re asking of it and save some fuel to boot.

My Rayburn took about an hour to convert
