What Combustible Clearances Matter in an Outdoor Kitchen?
There is no safe universal clearance number for every outdoor cooking appliance. Use the exact appliance instructions and destination fire or installation requirements.

Include moving and temporary items
Furniture, blinds, covers, stored fuel and decorative items can move into a clearance zone even when the fixed cabinetry was originally compliant.
