Cooking on one of these successfully is an art that's nearly gone.

You might be surprised - there's a LOT of AGAs and Rayburns in the UK.

I'm in Australia, and I've got a wood-burning Rayburn. It's got a boiler so it does our hot water as well. I do about 80% of the cooking on it, the rest on a gas cooktop, and a little bit in a Thermomix.

But it *does* take some getting used to.

It definitely takes some time to get used to cooking on it but once you learn how some things cook much better on it.

This one does have a water reservoir that heats water for us that hangs on the left side. We have to scoop hot water from it and constantly have it full to not ruin the reservoir.

That's excellent! I'm just sad that the solid-fuel models have been withdrawn :-(
