Hey guys,

I'll try to make the story short, bought a 50's house, bought a 50's stove (o'keefe and merritt, not perfect, but pretty good shape) just got it all fired up and using it yesterday. Of course it has pilot lights and the stove top, close to the pilot lights especially, stays HOT. I think you'd burn yourself if you touched too close to where the pilots are. My question is, any reason I couldn't take the top plates off and put some adhesive backed insulator from summit on the underside, cut the whole for the burner, and put them back down?
