The kitchen stove faces east. On which wall is Kitchen God stuck? Where to face?

The following is my answer, I hope it will help you:

According to traditional customs and superstitious beliefs, it is common to arrange the kitchen stoves facing east, because the east is considered as an auspicious direction, which means the rising sun and the renewal of Vientiane. In the traditional culture of China, the kitchen is the heart of the family and the place for cooking, so it is also a traditional custom to worship the kitchen god in the kitchen.

Kitchen God is the god of the kitchen and is regarded as the patron saint of the kitchen. The custom of worshipping the Kitchen God is very common in China families. Generally speaking, the kitchen god will stick it on the wall of the kitchen, and the common position is the back wall of the kitchen or the wall opposite the kitchen table.

When the stove faces east, generally speaking, the kitchen god will stick to the back wall of the stove, which is the western wall of the kitchen. The purpose of this is to make the kitchen god face the east, to show the direction of the rising sun, and to imply that the family is prosperous and blessed.

Although it is a traditional custom and cultural belief to worship the kitchen god, in modern society, different families may have different customs and habits. Some people may pay more attention to practicality and personal preference, and may put the kitchen god in other parts of the kitchen or choose not to worship the kitchen god. It all depends on the beliefs and cultural traditions of each family.
