Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

It looks like my great aunts stove. Hotter than neck in there all year, but the food was great! She's been gone 30 years now...

Many refer to it as a "cooker". We saw them in place in a couple of Irish B & Bs. Neat looking and yes it is a stove. Come in some great colors too.

It’s likely an Aga. The towel is covering the nameplate. Always on. Cool piece of gear.

And the pic was taken somewhere in NW Europe or the UK.

England, Scotland, Wales.

OMG I so wanted one of these until I realized the gas version is not exactly the same. There is a coal version. This stove has to be on 24/7 to work well when you are ready to cook. Nine months out of the year here would be fine, but dang it would be miserable in the summer months unless you have AC going 24/7 also!

It looks like the Aga stove I grew up with in Connecticut. My father would stoke it nine months out of the year and let it go out for the summer months. There was a hot burner and a warm burner on top and a hot oven and a warm oven. I believe Aga stoves are Swedish.

We have one. It's oil-fired. It is an aga.
