Should the free standing cooker be higher than the bench top

Mine is also about the bench, it is actually the same model you have. It doesn't look odd at all.

Plants for 2-3m hedge?

An option would be pittosporum - probably the sunburst variety. They don't get too tall. However, without some maintenance (pruning at least once a year) they tend to…
