ceiling height above egg

Georgie

Hi all. I am building a covered deck and would like to do my egging on it if possible. What height would you recommend to (1) avoid fire hazards, (2) avoid too much discoloration from smoke on the ceiling, and (3) avoid "trapping" the smoke under the ceiling and forcing everyone inside during cooks.

I went to nakedwhiz's website and looked at the table pics, but it appears not many folks put a roof over their egg. Is this a bad idea?

Thanks in advance for all the great advice!

I cook in an enclosed lanai (8' ceiling, screens on 2 sides) with no problem.

My Eggs are under my deck (out my basement door). The Lg BGE is in a table. We put white Dry Below on the under side of the decking so I could Egg in bad weather. The clearance is 6 feet and so far (6 months now) there is no discoloration on the Dry Below...and it keeps me dry also

Good luck with the project
