Ahhhh . . . Hadn't thought about differences in weight for whatever set on the burners . . . I think you just posed an insurmountable complication .
.
. I wonder how gimbaled stoves work on big boats?

Not only would it be big - but while it might be relatively easy to make a gimbal for a compass or even a one burner stove, think of the complications to adjust the balance or a pot of coffee on one burner and a pot of stew on the other - then help yourself to a cup of coffee while waiting for the stew to get hot enough (readjusting the gimbal) then stirring the stew and having the coffee in the pot start its own sloshing about -
If you get one built, you really will deserve a patent on it.
