  1. Thanks everyone for your feedback. Drunk J, good thought on the decking. The main deck is IPE, but I plan on covering the grilling area floor with stone or tile. It sound like there will not be any heat issues to worry about, just smoke for the most part. Know I just have to round up the $$ for a KK vs a grill dome
  2. Area needed around a KK Thanks Trish, good thought. the back of the house you see faces East, so most of the wind is from the south or sw most of the time, at least in the warmer months. My neighbor might get smoked out! I am a little concerned about smoke is the porch area, but I think I am ok on the home entry.
  3. Area needed around a KK Here is a photo. (a little dark, maybe I can get a better photo as the area looks small in the photo). The area the area that I plan to build on is where the gas grill is sitting. A raised platform 9' x 30" will be built up to deck level. The first half from the screened in porch to the house will be a platform (hopefully for a future KK), and the second half will be a built in cabinet/grilling area with a small gas grill in it.
  4. Hi everyone. I am intrigued by the KK and ceramic cooking and the timing is right as I am building a new grill area off of my deck. My question revolves around the amount of space needed around a KK, the heat that it puts off (which appears to be minimal) and the amount of area needed to be "safe" in case of a back-draft? I have a screened in porch on one side, and my vinyl sided house on the other, with a 9' length area in between in which I intend to build a raised platform that butts up to my existing deck. The plan would be to put 18" between the screened porch and the KK, and then I will have a built in counter that runs over to the house that will hold a gas grill/searing unit in it. (not sure if I can go KK solo!) I think I am far enough away from the house for any issues, but I am wondering if 18" or 24" is enough from the screened in porch. The wood is IPE, so it is pretty fire resistant, I am more concerned about the screens and general heat. I will try to post a picture. Let me know you thoughts or if any of you have your unit close to structures. I would have not problem putting a gas grill here, but probably would not do a traditional weber pit due to the lighting of the charcoal, but a KK? Thanks, Ken
