Lets get cookin’
When we started looking at heating options for Temperance Hall, we looked at a LOT of options. Number one in our criteria was it needed to either be in keeping with the property or be hidden from view. We also needed something to cook on and the idea of an Aga or Rayburn style cooker kept coming to the top of the list. That said, being off-grid, we knew we couldn’t just get something from the showroom and expect it to work from day one. We have solar power but it isn’t clear if that will be enough to use a conventional boiler but again, it doesn’t solve the problem of where to cook.
Late last year, our builder Donald put us in touch with a local lady who was looking to replace her solid fuel Rayburn with a more user-friendly version and so, we started conversations over pricing and when it might be available. Sadly, due to personal reasons they weren’t able to progress the plans at the time but around a month ago, Donald put us back in touch.
Long story short, Donald and Tom were able to remove the cooker and drop it off at the hall and onto the concrete plinth which I had prepared the week before.
Until this point, we’ve been using a gas-powered tapanyaki grill and a camping stove to cook on, so we’re looking forward to getting this installed and firing it up.
