Hi Gloria, I wonder if you could move your stove over so you have a 6" gap on one side? In that place you may be able to build or buy and modify a little rolling pantry that could house spices etc. On the top of that pantry you could build a 6" wide piece of wood or butcher block or counter top etc. so when the pantry is away it would provide a cover to your gap.
Hi Gloria, Here is a great tip for something easy... https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/457185799647423917/
They also make pre-made gap fillers designed to match your appliances and cabinets that can be found at home improvement stores. I am not sure if they have wood ones or it they are made of counter material.
Look on Amazon for Capparis Kitchen Silicone stove/counter Gap cover. Heat resistant fills gap between stove or washer and dryer .
Or Linda's stove gap cover also on Amazon. You get a two pack.
If you can move it over 6" then you could create a storage space for just about anything you could use it for...cookbooks, spices, lids for pans...
Em is right go to amazon and type what you are looking for in their search bar. You should get lots of results.
Hi Gloria, I hope this helps you out

Making a cabinet base filler is easy compared to a countertop filler.
Yes, make or buy a 5.5” pull out filler.
3" is pretty small. Have you thought about adding a strip of wood there and painting or staining it to match?
You realy need the air around the stove open if you close up you need to use something heat roof and fire proof.
Oh I thought you meant a wood stove use wood fasten it to cabinet then paint it the same color you could also move to one side and get a cite cart to go in there they have them for that .
You can buy a standard 36" stove since that is what cabinet installer expect when they put in cabinet. The stove could be slid right or left to give you 6" on one side. A couple of shelves could be inserted into the gap and it would be a great place to store cook sheets, muffin pans, spices, etc.
