I want to move my XL close to a 6' tall PVC fence. What is the minimum spacing needed to avoid having the heat potentially  warp the fence?

Thanks

    Tough call. I'd take no chances though. When the egg is hot move it closer and feel the fence.

    Not sure many will have experience with this. I would put it where you are comfortable and light a hot fire. Slowly pull it closer. If you have a infrared thermometer hit the fence if not touch fence. Sorry but that is best advice I can think of.
