Since we bought a house that came with a new stovetop oven, we haven't been able to use the rear left burner when also running the oven, which is most of the time. The oven has an exhaust vent that dumps turbulent air only a few inches from that burner, so the flame is too unstable to cook with. I did some experimenting and thought you lot might find this interesting. Looks like I have a new sheet metal project on the list.

Why did I have a mental picture of a new stove in the back of your pickup truck deciding to take flight?

The vertical vent flow in the video is causing a lateral draft across the burner, especially with a large pot/pan over the burner.

This is classic coanda effect. Air blown across a surface (back edge of the pot/pan) induces flow across the bottom surface of the pan as it is accelerated in the direction of the blown source..

Coanda effect

Deflector made of something that won't burn?  Perhaps Stainless in keeping with decor.

The real trick is going to be getting the stove airborn with all four burners lit.

Science! SS would be a good choice and easy to clean. Or maybe plain steel with black high temp paint.

Same here. Meanwhile I think a chicken may have exploded over on the "Random pictures on your phone (share here) thread. cheeky
