20 feet from the house is more than OK; I used to fire mine in the back
yard which was less than 10 ft. square. Keep a clear space above the
kiln of at least 6 ft. You will find that the heat from the flue
actually dissipates within 2 feet of the outlet, so that will allow you
to keep an eye on colour changes within.
Cover the hose from the Burner with pieces of Angle Iron (I painted mine
Red) to protect it from being trodden on or tripped over.
Keep the gas bottle(s) Downwind of the kiln so that in the (unlikely)
event of a leak, the gas will travel away from the kiln.
HAVE FUN.

Hi All,
I'm getting a portalble raku kiln next week. I've been looking around
my yard for a suitable place for it and I was wondering how close to
the house can I put it. I'm hoping for a space about 20 feet from the
house. Is that ok? I'll have access to the water hose and the ground
is fairly level. I live in a wooded area. How about trees? How far
from trees?
Thank's for any information,
Sandi
