Can I place an induction cooktop on a 3/4-inch wood cutting board on top of a metal gas stove?

The cutting board is large and covers the top of the stove but not the side and back metal strips. Will this interfere with the use of the cooktop? Is it dangerous? Should I just remove all metal from around the induction cooker?

Do gas cooktops result in more greasy residue than induction?

I have a problem with greasy residue (the bane of my existence) in my kitchen. It builds up pretty quickly on most surfaces close to the cooktop, makes dust stick, and is a horrible tedium to clean up. Is this common? My suspicion is that it's…
