Broke the glass on flush mount stove

[RyanOBrian1]

So be sure when you turn the stove off, make sure that you turn it to the off position. I had though I did this instead I turned it to very low and closed the glass. About 5 minutes later the glass exploded throughout the camper. I've emailed four wheel camper but haven't heard back from them. Anyone know where I could get a replacement? I was also thinking of getting a stainless steel cove made for me.

Thoughts?

Contact the stove manufacturer for parts. I broke a drawer in my Dometic fridge and they sent me a new one since it was still under warranty. Didn't expect that since it was my fault it broke.

Most of the SMEV vendors are outside the U.S., however, Panther RV in the Pacific Northwest may be able to help you.

Replace it with 1/8" aluminum plate, no more breakage. Ron

Not a bad solution at all.

At least it didn't allow for the entire camper to explode.

And you can cook pancakes on it.

Seriously if you do an aluminum plate put some vent holes in it just in case.

That's a good reminder to double check the burners before packing up. Lots of worse things could have happened than a busted stove cover.

No matter how you decide to repair it, put a bright yellow sticker right next to the "Off" indicator on each knob for distinctive observation.

just out of habit I never close my glass cover until I can touch the top of the burner

Sounds like the Smoky Bear method of putting out your campfire.
