Compostman has been calculating.
He has done the calculations, as have I, and despite the Aga costing ~£8 for a day of cooking and heating water etc for tomorrow, putting it on tonight, using it for slow roasting the Ribs of Beef, hot cooking the Roast Spuds and Yorkshires, cooking all the veg, reheating the Christmas pud, making hot drinks, AND heating the core of the house and bathroom, providing constant hot water AND drying endless loads of washing over it (that I haven't been able to do due to wet /cold weather)
Still means putting it on is actually MORE cost effective *this one occasion* than using Electric for cooking /oil fired boiler for heating and hot water/wood burner for heating. We get little benefit from Pv or Solar at this time of year.
So, Back to being an Aga Christmas Day (it does cook stuff SO well, we used to use it a lot in Winter/Spring in our first decade here until we really cut down on oil consumption)
