This has been discussed before, but Search isn’t returning any hints so I’m calling on institutional memory of successfully sinking and covering the two-burner cooktop that came with my 2015 RP-179. Nothing shows up at etrailer, and Amazon has a plethora of new design but without covers.

Thoughts?

Are you wanting to replace your current surface mount 2-burner gas cook top with a recessed one with glass cover? If so, check out the Suburban website. They have recessed 2 and 3 burner cook tops. (My 2021 171 uses a recessed Suburban cook top with a hinged glass cover that is flush with the counter top. You will have to verify you have sufficient depth. You will also need to cut a slightly larger opening in your countertop with a saber saw.

I would not recommend recessing your existing surface mount cook top. You would need to fabricate a metal pan larger than your existing burner to protect the counter top edges from heat damage.

Thanks. I recalled the job had been fully described earlier as a total replacement, and a number of assemblies with lids were available online. Never got around to it.
