I think that stove sink setup is a great set up. I might ultimately replace my west stove with something like that and have the stove be removable for picnic table coffee in the morn. Thanks.

It was sure nice to have a broiler to make cheese toasties!

I was in love with this arrangement before I even realized there was a broiler. Perhaps it's the low cab diet talking but I don't think I can live without a Vanagon broiler. Can you explain the set up? It the burner also the broiler and you just put stuff under it. or is the broiler somewhere that I cant see?
