You might consider an HDPE cutting board cut to “just right” size as sort of “false floor” on top of the dividers for perfect weight distribution, and to protect what’s underneath.
You need a cutting board anyway

Thanks @WashingtonTaco for confirming that the FR foam divider is looking up to the job. At the moment I am gravitating towards using this Fr foam (7” high) in conjunction with the Zarges OEM foam lining. Will hopefully be able to post a few photos next monthI think the Front Runner foam would be sufficient support for the Partner Steel stove. I would put pins in top and bottom though to minimize splay of the dividers.
My mod thread of my Zarges.
Zarges box mods
Not to take away from @Daves Zarges Alubox comparison this thread will focus on Zarges boxes and how I outfitted mine. I have wanted Zarges boxes for my offroad vehicles for many years. Having used them in my aviation career receiving and shipping parts worth more than the average home I knew...
Yes, I’ve snooped around for a while here and had a good read of your thread. Nicely put together.

It will need to be 2 cutting boards since these are the house rules but I like your thinking @Dave. Was gravitating to HDPE cutting boards anyway but was considering having them vertical in the box. I think laying them horizontal is a great idea and not as fiddle as digging out from the sides of the box.You might consider an HDPE cutting board cut to “just right” size as sort of “false floor” on top of the dividers for perfect weight distribution, and to protect what’s underneath.

I have the AluBox RuumX dividers. They are everything that the TrekPak dividers are, without the insane price.
No idea about any FrontRunner products for AluBox?
Frontrunner Flat Packs?
They will fit in the the Zarges and AluBox that are sized near 21.65 X 13.78 X 8.66 or larger but it's not a snug fit since they're sized for the African ammo box.
Points to the Flat Pack because you can zip it closed to empty the aluminum box quickly and is about $45
Points to the AluBox RuumX because it's far more customizable and won't slide around within the box with your stuff.

Front Runner Storage Box Foam Dividers
Looks decent but those pins look to be plastic, and they're probably sized specifically for the FR boxes.
Points to RuumX for metal pins and sizing to suit AluBox.

The FR are plastic, fortunately Trekpak pins (metal) will work too!

Are FR plastics pins an issue though? I wouldn’t expect these to be under much strain unless compartments are over stuffed.
