Oil butner cooker thingys

[Keni]

Happy New Year, first of all.

So, the story so far is this - we have an old place, usual thing, doing it up (sloowly). In the kitchen is a Rossieres? Oil burner cooker thingy. bearing in mind it has not been used for a few years, and appears to have pipes coming out of it to what we believe is a water tank in the loft, does anyone know anything about these oil-burners? Is is oil only, or can it burn wood. Supposing it is connected to the water system, because of these pipes, how does it work - does anyone know anything about where to get an instruction manual? The condition of it seems ok - just unused, there is a left door (small) with controls, plus when you life up one of the plates on top there is a huge hole, so does this mean we can put wood in it? Any answers, we would be grateful - before we chuck it out. Keni
