Stove related to household budget control. In classical feng shui theory “Mountain” feature related to both support and control, when stove is installed in a kitchen island, there is no wall behind the stove (no mountain support), the household expense will tend to exceed the budget. And if the stove happens to be placed right across from the sink, it could also make the male-female relationship in the household more challenging. I have witnessed this to be true in countries I have visited in Asia, Europe, Russia and America.
