What you need is a gimbaled marine stove.  You could probably drive down the
interstate while boiling water with this one!

Subject: Westy Stove Leveling Ideas Sought

Last night I didn't have a chance to level the van before camping. I
normally do this using those plastic ramps available from RV stores, but no
chance.

Cooking was a bit of a mess this morning with the stovetop not level. I
raised the low end by setting some odds and ends under it. Of course I had
to pop the grill loose from the stovetop to do this.

So I got me another Swell Idea (TM): Someone really smart could figure out a
way to level the stovetop grill maybe by threading the ends of some of the
feet and putting some kind of ends on them that could be screwed up and
down. Something that would not get in the way of securing the grill using
the existing two feet that snap into it?
