I have an ordinary countertop microwave that I would like to mount above my stove, either by attaching it to the underside of the cabinet above, or by installing some kind of shelf. However, if I were to do this there would be a maximum of 20 inches between the bottom of the microwave and the surface of my gas stove. Does that make this a bad idea? If not, what would be the best way to go about it?
thanks in advance!!!
You could not hang it as there is no place on the MW to hang it.
You could put it on a shelf over the range.
BUT, you would not have any light and more important the steam and grease from cooking would move into the microwave.

well, i don't have a light as it is, so that doesn't bother me. smoke and grease could well be problematic (do built-in microwaves have fans or something to combat this?), but my main concern was what kind of shelf i should use to prevent it melting or burning, or whether 20 inches was just not enough space...
thanks for your imput!
