i have been offered a Rayburn Regent Oven only.
Will i be able to use this as a heater in my workshop or do they retain heat from within?

Would be nice if i can keep warm and have a brew on whilst working.

I was surprised as well.

"Q. Can I have a Rayburn that is for cooking only?

A. Yes, there are cooking only models for all fuel types, and some don't even require a chimney with the power flue option. The Rayburn family of cookers is the largest range available and there is a perfect model to suit every home."

In 1955 when we built our home econmy was vital. Following the war bricks were almost unavalable. We squeezed in as much as we could in a our 3,000 pound house. The builder was mean spirited and my role was to do as much of the work as possible. I dug the foundations by pick, mattock and shovel, mixed and poured the footings. Painted the weatherboards. Stood the frames, carried in and stood the staircase, wired the house as an apprenticed Sparky, newly licensed at completion signed off on the power.

Then in the kitchen installed a Rayburn Oven, Hotplates etc with a boiler built into the unit giving us almost free hot water, our power bill was One Pound a quarter. We loved that Rayburn.

Check out the firebricks inside. Keep it a distance from showering wood dust when fuelling it. Sounds good to me.

Peter.
