Thank you for your reply Master Lee! To follow up, 1)Is it worse to have the stove share the same wall as the drain pipe or to have it on the island? 2) Are there any remedies if I have to put it against the wall sharing the pipe short of rerouting the drain (a costly option)? 3) How do I go about finding out my best direction as the lady of the house according to the Compass School? Thanks again for all your help! Best regards, klb

I am in the process of remodeling my kitchen, and am conflicted about where to place the stove. We have a long gallery kitchen on the Eastern side of the house (but running North/South lengthwise). I'm not sure whether to place the stove either along the Eastern wall, or on the Kitchen Island (3 feet by 12 feet) opposite the wall. My first instinct is to place the stove against the wall, to prevent splatter or other hazards when children are present, but then the main drain line of the house also runs along under that same wall (where the sink is currently). I'm concerned about the conflicting fire/water elements and the energy draining away.The other option is to place the stove on the island, but it's an open kitchen and that feels a bit unprotected. What is your advice for me? Many Thanks! -klb
