There is nothing copper under the stove top cover. If I cover the gas hose that is exposed to the heat with a copper tube that is larger than the 5/8" hose......would that be enough safeguard from the heat????
Thanks a heap to all responders.
I wouldn't chance a hose inside the top, covered part of the stove. In fact, my Coleman, like a lot of others, vents the heat from the oven through the back and up through a vent. There is a 3/8" soft copper pipe that connects the stove to the main 1/2" iron pipe.
If you're using the stove without the back enclosed. you can probably get by with just copper across the top and then a fitting to your hose.
Good luck with the stove.
