Owner: Richard McCracken
Model: Black 3-oven
Vintage: 2006
Location: County Londonderry, Northern Ireland
Snapshot: Richard and his wife Joanne installed their 13-amp black AGA when they renovated their kitchen in 2006. Joanne had longed for the warmth of an AGA and the ability to “bake and cook at anytime”. Environmentally aware, the family decided to produce their own electricity using a wind turbine, which they use to power the AGA. “In nearly three years, we have spent less than £100 in total on electricity and our AGA has never been turned off. It has revolutionised the way my wife cooks, with stews going on at lunchtime to simmer all afternoon and AGA toasties for the kids, baked potatoes, cakes and buns all being house specialities.”
Finest Hour: The McCracken AGA works hard – cooking all the family meals, drying clothes, heating the house, rescuing sick lambs in the spring and, of course, keeping Rosie the dog warm.
