Dear Anon,

1. It is good to understand the concept behind the kitchen.

In traditional Feng Shui, the kitchen plays an important part because this is a location where we are suppose to prepare our food. The main principle behind it is that we must try to keep our food warm. Thus the kitchen is suppose to keep us "warm".

2. With this understanding, we can also go further to say that the kitchen usually has both water element and fire element.

3. As water element and fire element are opposities e.g. Yin and Yang, it is best not to place the two together close-by.

4. In your situation, what is more important is the location of your kitchen.

Ideally, as what you have mentioned, if your kitchen is in the Fire location e.g. South, it will easily be able to retain the heat or warmth even if it faces the living room.

Here, the stove can `cool down'

5. Contrast this with the stove at the North location which is the location of Water element. Here, the stove is at a location where water is the main element and it would not be good to have the stove face e.g. the living room where it is further `cooled' down as it is open space. Here, the fire can further be extinguished.

The concept can also in general apply to the stove is facing the north or south location.

6. A much `worse' effect is to have the stove face the main door as this implies the warmth goes out of the door. (Especially if it is the North point).

7. Concerning the knobs for the stove, it should not face the main door according to traditional Feng Shui. The knobs ideally should face the sky or face inwards into the house.

In `modern' Feng Shui, more important considerations is to ensure that the Shapes and Form of the external and the interior conform to good FS guidelines and others include the house match your Ba Zhi and even the Flying Star chart of the house are acceptable.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
