    Maybe someone with more know how can fix these posts for me...

    The galley is tight on room. One thing I was worried about was the heat radiating off the stove and peeling the varnish off the fiddle rails. I just couldn't squeeze anymore room out of the layout so we cobbled together some shielding. There is a machine shop in town here that had some pieces of stainless in their "drop" bin that worked out great. It was a challenge to cut, bend, drill, and file, but it worked fantastic. We had been previously cooking in the cockpit and I was always checking the temp of the stove's side walls and gimbal posts and they were HOT! So when got everything in place and fired up we were tickled pink to feel virtually no heat on the fiddle rails. Whew!
