Range shelf

The traditional back cabin cooking and heating range sits on this shelf at the port stern end of the cabin.
Although these small ranges are exempt from the new stove safety regulations due to their small firegrate area this one will be installed within the spirit of the regs by incorporating all resonably practical safety measures applied to the larger stoves.
The range shelf is of steel with an airgap underneath (see lower 2 photos) and no combustible material or insulation close to the sides. These will be faced with tiled fireboard.
