cooktop cover

[Ricky 4]

I am looking for a topper or cover for the 2 burner stove top .I don`t want to use the stove but need to cover it to make more counter space. Have tried several sizes of pans-nothing big enough. I can make one from scratch but thought if I could find one or something that would fit-19" x 14" in size it would be quicker and easier.

Has anyone bought such an item?
Thanks

most restaurant supply place carry a variety of dif. sized cutting boards? just a thought. I work for a metal manufacturer and although we don't do custom stuff I know it's a pretty simple thing to build in stainless. there may be someone that works with restaurant kitchens that can steer you in the right direction. might be costly... but you'll only do it once.

Did you check with casita. stove top covers are an option they offer

I have made one out of cedar, which doubles up as a food tray when you take it off and flip it. It fits nice and snug, and makes a solid surface to put things on. I can take pics if interested.

Howdy, you could make a simple shallow box out of maple to fit over your stove and use it as a cutting board if necessary and flipped over use as a tray for serving....see my web shots picture site for the one in my Boler...Benny

Walmart sells different sized cutting boards. I keep one in the closet when I want more space and am not using the stove. It fits over the burners. Since we got the Coleman stove, we rarely use the stove inside.

Have you looked at cookie sheets or shallow baking pans?

I use a small white cutting board from WalMart, it fits nicely over the 2-burner stove. Great for added counter space! I have a piece of non-skid shelf liner under it, and it stays in place while traveling.

Another version of the cutting board idea--I drilled holes in the bottom of the cutting board near each corner & glued short pieces of dowel into the holes. The "legs" were spaced so that they held the board in place snugly .

I ordered one from Casita for my previous trailer. I don't remember the price, but it was reasonable with shipping. It was easy to install.

here's the best solution I've seen ----our friend david built, in mere minutes..a fantastic stove cover simply and cheaply. he measured the size needed, cut a piece of leftover plywood and simply screwed on each corner one doorstop!
the rubber ends of the doorstoppers made excellent feet, unscrew readily if needed and it just stands up behind the stove when in use! ingenious, quick and easy....my kind of project.

way to go, david...

Wish all projects could be this easy-what a simple answer to my problem. I am going to use a wooden cutting board. Will try to get pictures. THANKS MUCH

Actually, that's what I've got in my 13-foot Scamp, a half-sheet pan turned upside down from a restaurant supply store. It fits perfectly (though I did use a couple pieces of duct tape to keep it in place during transit). I put a piece of non-skid stuff on top of it and that's where I intend to put my microwave (when I get one). I took some of the same non-skid stuff and taped it to the bottom of a large wooden cutting board that had warped too much for me to use it, and I put that over my sink. (And that doesn't move at all, but if I want to get to the sink, it's easy enough just to lift it up.) So now I've got great useable counterspace.
