fixed electric heat

[olly]

How far does a fixed electric heater need to be mounted from the ceiling? It only came with an 8" bracket. Its an outdoor heater and the ceiling is made from cedar tongue and groove

The instructions for the heater should specify the minimum clearances from combustibles.

I might consider a sheet-metal shield above the heater.
