We have a range style cooker with an electric oven and gas hobs which we run off bottled propane, we find a 13kg bottle lasts 6-9 months. We keep a full spare, no need for an auto system for hobs, only takes 2 mins to switch bottles so nothing spoils. 2010 Defender 110 Station Wagon, Santorini Black.

I'd second the lpg range even if it means installing gas pipework - we did that when we moved into our cottage 3 years ago. It worked out cheaper to get a gas / electric range and put the pipework in than an electric range with induction hobs - wife hates regular ceramic.

To anyone considering an electric AGA I'd suggest looking at Everhot - like an AGA for the 21st century! I've done a lot of research between the two for our new build and after cooking demos etc we're going with the Everhot.

OT but we inherited a solid fuel AGA that had been in the farmhouse kitchen here since the 1950's. Other than the dust and waste of heat during the summer the thing worked well but we decided to have it converted to electric around 18 months ago. The conversion required just a 13a supply for the ovens and another for the hotplates. Oven control is independent as are both hotplates. We run the oven via a suitably rated smartplug that we can control [timer etc] via an app. Do miss the 24/7 ambient warmth during the winter though. Steve.
