Yeah.

We actually avoid cooking inside our 'Esme'  because it lets us avoid
cleaning the stove and lessens the possibility that a Bear Will Find
Our Van Tasty!   http://www.oregonlive.com/environment/index.ssf/

But someone did produce a solution to the problem that the burner
grate is stupidly widely spaced.  It was a metal thingie in a VW
styled design  that you would attach to the Stupidly Wide Spaced
Burner Grate to fill in that stupidly large space.

Alas, it was a limited edition.  The creator was at one time on this
list, and may still be.

Could we have a new edition of this elegant solution?   Please?
