Afriend of mine asked me to design and build a removable cover for their gas range cooktop. They want a wood top that could be used for food preparation, then removed for cooking. They have a very small kitchen and want more workspace.
Myquestion: Is this safe? Allowed by code and/or safety standards? Seems like an opportunity for a fire; putting combustable construction over gas burner that"should" be off.
I have a nice maple cutting board cover designed, but thought it best to get input from you before proceeding.

Anyadvice, or pointing me in the right direction for help, much appreciated.
