Microwave over the oven

Hi,

I am planning on wall mounting my microwave over the cooker as I am desperate for worksurface space.

The only issue I am wondering about is the heat from the gas burners. I have tried to look for headproof bracket/shelf but can't seem to find anything.

Has anyone tried this before or know of a suitable shelf I can use?

Thanks

    Don't do it!!

    Hang one of these on a wall somewhere else and position your MW on it.

    I third the 'don't do it' I'm all for having microwave ovens out of the way but hate the idea of anything over a cooker (especially with gas burners!)
