An Aga either powered by solid fuel (coal) oil or gas.
Because black absorbs heat - while white reflects it. Painting a fuel storage tank black will make the fuel heat up in hot weather - possibly causing it to spontaneously explode !
In that case, the solid substance will either increase in temperature, or it will melt. Some substances may also sublimate instead of melting - this means that they change directly to gas form.
If the solid is made of ice, then it will melt. But if you have enough heat, you can make the solid item melt.
