looking for one that can warm a decent size patio.

Preferably electric…

neighbor bought a new one at Costco and it burnt her house down. True story. Be cautious.

If you get one like Free posted, be sure to hide it on windy days. They don't look so pretty after they fall a couple times.

Better yet, don't leave it sitting around without a propane bottle in it either.

Ask me how I know.

The other weakness of it is that it's relatively tall, and of course the heat goes up.

I'm in the market for a shorter version of it of some sort.

Try fire

They make a table top version. Don’t know how small you’re looking for

Can’t go wrong with the BawHeat1000.

Unscrew the top metal sheet as well, they fold easily if laid down and the weight goes on them

I have one and I'm taking it back. The propane bottle that fit in them freeze up after 10min maybe 15min max because the bottles aren't large enough to displace the cold fast enough. Inside packaging it states this which I found after I assembled. they recommend getting a 20# tank and run a extension hose to it which, IMO, ruins the entire premise of having the smaller table top version.

No experience with the larger tall ones.

We bought a wood burning metal fire pit this weekend. Fortunately, we have access to over 5+ cords of wood that we have already split and another 4 or so that we are still drying the cut logs waiting to split at my parents farm house. Hate having to buy wood to burn but i will, only until I can get back to farm to bring back a load.

Anyways, point of post is to let everyone know the table top ones, while seem great and do work, the bottles will freeze up in 15min or less making them useless for heating any area for a sustained amount of time.

Find yourself one of these in good, working order. Get the bigger one if you can.
