    That is just the way of the beast. I had a three drawer plastic bin hanging around and I put it next to the stove and put things like rice and pasta side dishes and mashed potato packages in it. I use the bottom drawer to put some household hand tools in so that they are handy and not in a drawer with kitchen things. You can put something decorative on top of it to make it higher. I put mountable metal holders I found at Bed Bath and Beyond to put most used spices and rubs into hide the opening at the top of the stove. I have had it this way for three years with out a problem with heat affecting anything. It wouldn't have been so bad, except the stove is at the end right across from the kitchen door that everyone always uses.

    You could a build a little shelf to cover the back of the gap and it would make a great place for spices!

    Have your thought about putting a shelf there, one that is fire resistant?
