Clearance for using Karubecue C-60
Collapse

When you are first starting it you may have flames that shoot above the top by a foot or so. Once it is going you can use the lid and flames shooting up won't be much of a concern. You may have occasional embers popping out from the sides so keeping an area underneath and around the KBQ free of combustibles is important.
Whenever I am using my KBQ I have the garden hose at the ready "just in case".

KBQ C-60
PK360

From the KBQ website:- The Firebox is HOT, uses a semi-open flame, and will spark occasionally. It’s not advisable to use the pit when/where you wouldn’t build a small campfire (e.g., on a houseboat, on a wood deck, with unsupervised kids around, or during dry/windy weather).
Here is the manual: KBQ-C-60_SS-Owners-Manual.pdf (stackpathcdn.com)

You should be just fine. I would not worry about those Oaks.
Obviously, any open flame should be treated with respect and care, but the KBQ is pretty safe to operate. For the most part, the flames are not shooting up very high when the lid is off. That being said, think of it this way.......would you put a small fire pit there? If not, maybe find a better spot to move it too.
I keep mine on my patio and there is a huge white oak pretty close, but the crown of the tree is a good 25-30 feet above my KBQ. It would take a really huge fire with constant heat to and very dry conditions to cause a real hazard and the fire in the C-60 is nowhere near that.
Just remember.....a quality fire extinguisher is ALWAYS a good idea on any patio, when live fire is present.

Is shaking up a beer with your thumb over the mouth of the bottle, then spraying with it considered a fire extinguisher? ;-)

Our KBQ is on concrete, but I bought one of these silicone ember mats for our 22" Weber which we keep in Hood River, and use on a wood deck. I was inspired by live coals which landed on the decking when I dumped the lump charcoal from the chimney. (I put the embers out with a hose, and soaked the deck for a wide area!) https://www.amazon.com/Ember-Mat-Protect-Underneath-Popping/dp/B07QD1HC7T/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=fire+mat&qid=16183708 45&sr=8-3Last edited by Dr. Pepper; April 13, 2021, 09:28 PM.
