Any ideas on how to stop the corner of my stove top from getting so hot? We cooked on it for the first time and the corner was scalding hot obviously and i have 2 kids and don't want to have them touch it...

What your stove gets hot?
Seriously, a bit more info would help.

They'll only touch it once...

With more info I'm sure you'll get more serious replies.

With out knowing much i do know plenty of people use pots and pans to large for there stoves. One of the major contributing factors those lunch box burner have been banned. To large a pan reflects heat to "other" area's and they don't operate correctly.

We have a swag ct and the 4 burner built in cooktop made the outside edge extremely hot. If you lean against the kitchen it will burn. I thought my question was kind of self explanatory but clearly crayons may be required

?

Crayons would be good. We are all a little slow here, so as asked for a photo or two would really help.

I have had a look at the swag site and there are about a dozen models to look through and I really can't be bothered..........so if you can't do photos how about a link to your model of trailer so then we can at least have a look.

It's the swag Finch hard floor ct. The kitchen pulls out from the lhs of the trailer. Camper is packed away atm and have pnlybused it 3 times and haven't taken any photos yet sorry.

Thats it?

I would be looking to lift the unit up about 2cm's to get the stove off the bench top. As it works at the moment the whole kitchen is the heat sink for the cooker. How hot does it get if you only use the burners on the sink side?

peter.gomersall · July 22, 2015, 09:17:11 AM

That's the one . Same heat wise sink side but i can push that out of the way. Will try lifting it and see how that goes. It's the bottom right corner on the outside that was really hot . Thanks for the help. Much appreciated

You can use those crayons to write "hot" on the side of it

how long were you running the stove for when it got hot?

imo it would take a long time for the bottom to heat up, as callmejoe said pots and pans will direct the heat down but this would take a fair while to heat the bottom corner

is the top just as hot/ hotter

Top corner was hotter. Might look at smaller pans!
