BBQ to seat - how much to allow?
Discussion
So, further to my other post about build costs of the patio, we're working on some sizings and what to allow as we were concerned we'd not allowed enough space.
What is generally considered "enough" distance from a BBQ to a table and chairs? What I want to avoid is someone sitting next to the BBQ and melting due to the heat. We've got about a couple of meters at present, is that enough?
We have another option to "notch" the BBQ into a corner to maintain the patio space. It'll still be close by the heat would be in a corner so well away from directly behind anyone.

I have a brick built BBQ over by the herb garden but as that's 20 odd feet from the seating area I use a portable BBQ and sit it 3ft or so from the seats so that I can sit down and do the BBQ........
At the end of the day the heat won't melt everyone etc and if it's a hot day it won't make much difference, whilst if it's a much cooler day (say November) then you'll appreciate the heat.
Oh, are the seats plastic, concrete or wood?

The seats are teak, as is the table, which seats 8 people. Sale bargain, got to love it :-)At the end of the day the heat won't melt everyone etc and if it's a hot day it won't make much difference, whilst if it's a much cooler day (say November) then you'll appreciate the heat.
