First it was the high price of oil and gas- now you all want to burn logs and coal (again!)

The market has spoken and I am inundated with demand for SOLID FUEL Rayburns. Let's explain what's going on!

From about 1990 the  demand for solid fuel dropped away to zero. The country was buoyant, borrowing easy and both partners went out to work - so a coal burning cooker that goes out during the day wasn't a good idea- so it was replaced with a gas or oil boiler. The second hand market for coal cookers was slow so a lot went to the tip - and the spares firm's lost interest in selling parts to a declining market. We were just the same - occasionally I would service a "faithful old retainer's" Rayburn , fitting new bricks and grates etc but the demand was gone - along with the ash, dust and mess of solid fuel!  
Now its back - simply because of the high fuel prices. So what can YOU do about it

(a) If you REALLY want a coal cooker answer the following questions

Our friend Keith has developed a HIGH OUTPUT wood / coal burning cooker - the same size as an Alpha or Sandyford - with 3 ovens . It's available at £5500 + vat and should heat up to 15 rads on good fuel. Ask me for more details! Fully enamelled in most colours  We developed the Snugburner to overcome the high fuel cost - high maintenance of solid fuel - and it works! But if you REALLY want to go "back" to solid fuel buy my 3 e books telling you all you need to know about solid fuel cookers- from buying them, moving them and maintaining them ! See www.ebooks-on-howto.com  for a compilation deal!

RAYBURN GAS COOKERS. Don't buy the G33 or gas Nouvelle ( balanced or conventional flue, lpg or nat gas_) - several of the gas train parts are NOT OBTAINABLE - so the cooker is SCRAP.new Rayburn oven stats for the GAS Nouvelle .Don't even ask me- the parts have been out of stock for over a year. Sonew NOUVELLE OVEN STATS and G33 Boiler stats and intermittent pilot assemblies - no chance at present . We have  new KNOBS for the G33 and G7 gas taps  on our spares site.

Aga Sales . I am actively slowing down on Aga sales to concentrate on my other businesses. See Aga section for remaining stock -

Rayburn Sales. Some lovely new stock in - see Cookers for Sale.

We do E Bay and sell second hand cookers - only Rayburns and Agas - and sell second hand spares. Our new spares company is www.agafixspares.com There is NO VAT on our s/h cookers

We try NOT to fully recondition cookers - especially Rayburns which often WARP on re-enamelling

You come to us for a BARGAIN and its very unusual for our Rayburns to cost in excess of £2900

We sell AGAS in 2 forms. Either as a "basket case" - you take way a pile of parts and rebuilt or

As a fully rebuilt cooker in your kitchen - put together by an OFTEC or CORGI reg installer
