my gap is pretty minimal now, but a little wider pre-remodel. i bought on eof those clear glass cutting boards - 16"x20" i think - and put it right up to the stove.

Could you glue a piece of weatherstripping to the side of the range, and have it overlap onto the counter? Obviously pick a colour to match counter.

They sell T-shaped strips that fit in the gaps - I forget what they're called. 1/4 - 1/2 inch on one side seems a lot - can you move the range slightly so it's more even on both sides?

I agree, 1/4 inch even is big; 1/2 inch seems HUGE.

Can you shift the range a little?

Also, some of those T strips are wider than others. I had to return one set I ordered bcs it was too wide to fit. So do some looking around.

They're easily found online, or at Bed Bath & Beyond, and they're inexpensive, and they work really well.

(One nice thing; they can be removed to clean on and beside)

This one is 2-1/2 inches wide; that ought to work.

same brand, I think; different catalog

I'm having trouble right now finding the SKINNY strips I needed to use.

Thanks so much for all the info and ideas! I knew there must be something out there. I was at work when I originally posted and overestimated the gap. It's a bit over 1/4 inch. They leveled the range after the countertops were installed. I think it was more evenly spaced prior to that.

This is why I love Garden Web. I have that problem too, and I never even knew there was a product that would help. I love all of you!
