Review of Aga Much Wenlock stove

New model very disappointing

Karan Winthrop 11 years ago

Compared to the Coalbrookdale Much Wenlock, Aga 's version can't hold a match to it,( bad pun!)

The steel insert restricts the size of wood you intend to use.

The riddling plate is neither use nor ornament compared to the fire bars it has replaced.

Don't get me started on the fact that the 2 separate doors have been replaced by one single door.

Totally useless, if the fire's nearly out , with the old model all you had to do was open the bottom door and it would draw, you can't do that with the new model.

Very disappointed, I feel it's a waste of money.
