Dear Anon,

1. I quite understand your situation. Nowadays, it is difficult for many homes to have a good placement of the stove - to the `advantage' of the homeowner or spouse.

2. If the above is not auspicious, other considerations are:

2.1 The stove should have a `solid backing' e.g. be placed against a wall instead of having a window at it's back.

2.2 Where possible, it should not have a beam above it. Or if possible, water pipe should not be criss-crossing it e.g. in the kitchen cabinet.

2.3 If the kitchen is at the north sector (water element) of the house, ideally, the stove should not face a water position such as the wash basin. As the `warmth' of the stove may be extinguished.

2.3 If the stove is at the south sector (fire element), it can face the wash basin.

2.4. Where possible the knobs of the stove face inwards of the house. But if the knobs face upwards, this is considered a `neutral' position.

The above are some of the considerations for the placement of the stove.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
