The "counter" fits across the hull stringers and the box hangs below and rests on the bunk top you sit facing the stern. it has handles that allows you to take the box on deck. it was originally designed to have a single burner stove but we are going to use a double burner stove now, so we will make a work-surface that fits over the top of the stove. the big compartment on the right fits a pressure cooker, with a 2 burner stove the lift off part is redundant as it covers it.
