Tod, God didn't build the Origo stove: man did. If the sharp edges bother you, take a smooth file and round off the edges till they are the way you like them. Remember sailor's motto No. 1. If you don't like it, modify it or change it to suit your tastes. This law allows you to drill holes; add hardware; change what you don't like: in short adapt the boat to your desires and needs - you don't have to live with what someone else thinks is ideal. After all, it's your boat! Amen Connie
