Aga advice!!!!

We have an old two oven Aga (oil). I am desperatly worried about affording the oil for it this year as it really guzzles and oil is up to about 70p per litre.

The Aga was originally solid fuel, would it be worth reverting it back?

The problem is the family is out all day (work & school) so would it stay alight or do you have to feed them all day? Would it be a faff to do?

I dont mind cleaning the thing out ( we have open fires as well so used to that!)
It heats the water as well as the house ( no rads running from it just ambient heat)

I'm really in a quandry with this and am considering selling it but it will cost so much to get a cooker sorted and then get electric rads.

Anyone got any advice please?:confused:

    Don't know a thing about Agas but I know that this guy has an aftermarket burner for them that he claims is more efficient. http://www.tradcookers.com/
