I took a cut at making a stove cover to expand the usable space for food preparations; or Yet Another Stove Topper = YAST. Hope this helps someone with another idea on how to do this easily.
I went the inexpensive way but it turn out pretty good looking and usable. The cutting board is from Walmart and the wood legs are from some scrap I had. The "non-skid" pads on the legs are from Home Depot. Here are a few pictures to show the results: |

Thanks for the great photos. YAST is on my summer short list of mods as well. Your post will make it much easier!

YAST- love it!
Very neat. Made mine the same way - I think even the same cutting board. But without the rubber feet. It had a tendency to slide around (and off) so I put the legs at the corners to hold it in place. Let us know how yours rides. |

Thanks for the comments. I made it a couple Weeks ago. It has traveled well from VA to PA to MD and back to VA ... about 500 miles. It stayed in place fine. The trick I didn't mention was carefully postioning the legs so they all gently rest against the stove sides. I was prepared to put on 8 legs, two at each corner. But because of the shape of the stove, only 4 were needed.

Looks great! I was just in Wally-World this weekend looking at cutting boards for just that purpose! Since this "mod" is done by so many campers/RV'ers, it really makes you wonder why it is not standard on every unit.

We did the same thing but with a narrower board. We stuck some wine corks on the the existing legs as they were not quite tall enough and a thin cork placemat on the underside to help with any residual heat from the stove after use.
The bamboo cutting board we chose needed to be oiled before use. We also see the same cutting board at a TJ Maxx for between $12.99 and $14.99 on occasion. |

Looks great. I just used a piece of scrap plywood from a home being built nearby, already cut to the right size (lucky, might have been a sink cut out) and sitting in a dumpster, sanded and polyurethaned it, set the legs the same way. Works perfectly as a cutting board, tray to carry stuff outside, food prep surface, etc.
