Redogs54,
As it has been in the past when common sense fails us, the NEC helps to answer these questions. In the 2005 NEC this issue is clearly addressed (sp?) in 210.52(3)(C)(1). This execption states....Receptacle outlets shall not be required on a wall directly behind a range or sink in the installation described in Figure 210.52.
How does anything in 210.52(C) apply to the question of the wall space behind a free staning stove? The section only applies to wall space above countertops.
