I think you need to put the photos on Flickr or similar and post a link.Norn Iron Club member 4730

Well to me the sandstone "pillars" and just looking at the outside are not just infill and are a supporting structure. So you just take them out at your peril by the looks of it. How much wider than the old aga is the new one?
Am confused by your decription of a metal lintel. Can't see one.

I haven't mentioned a metal lintel - perhaps you're mixing me up with a reply to my post? The newer aga isn't wider. The sandstone bits are too close to existing cooker to enable the lid to come off or the new lid get put on. The fitter says he needs an inch of play. We know they support the lintel, just don't know what to replace them with. Can concrete lintels be used vertically or would be need to use blocks or bricks?I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent. :rotfl:0

Bricks on their side with dot and dab plasterboard to allow them to be plastered and box in your existing lintel with the board too. I don't know if that would take the weight of the lintel though.0

Oh - sorry. Thought you did.I haven't mentioned a metal lintel - perhaps you're mixing me up with a reply to my post?
Ah OK. Theres always more data if you dig a bit!The newer aga isn't wider. The sandstone bits are too close to existing cooker to enable the lid to come off or the new lid get put on.

If you don't mind a bit of mess then you could shave half an inch to an inch off each side with an angle grinder and leave the rest in place. Enjoy!

Keystone I think that would be the cheapest option for sure. Why is nothing ever easy? :mad:I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent. :rotfl:0
