You don't really wish that -- you need those burners up front for best control
while sauteing, etc. What you should be wishing for is a better range hood. 8

Look, for example, at the air control pattern for the Broan Allure III, which
blows a little air out just in front of the front burners and sucks it back in
along with the front burner effluent.

I just bought my second Allure III, and they've changed the design slightly to
make that air current loop even more effective, at capacities up to 430CFM. It
works really well.
