Thank you for all the responses. They are very appreciated. I was concerned about using 2 burners while half of the top was folded down. The instructions say "don't do that" and I can see why.
I'm not chastising anyone for doing it but I have a general understanding why it's not supposed to be done, especially on older vehicles that don't have the repressed fire systems.
That is why I was looking for alternatives. Plus we have a beautiful new counter top piece we wanted to use.
Most people who replace the stove top with a new 2 burner, also remove the oven so I couldn't find any instructions online on how to keep the oven, while replacing the top.
We love the oven, even though it's rarely used. We would like to keep it and all the cabinetry.
There is a line coming into the stove top and then those split out to the 4 burners.
I was wondering if it's a danger to use those lines, remove the current burners, replace the counter top over the entire stove top (new sink too) and install a 2 burner into the line coming in. Set into the countertop-essentially sitting in the old spot where the old burners used to be.
(gains: new counter top, space, new larger single sink (the one in there now has 2 tiny reservoirs)
