Buying advice: patio heaters

  1. Propane is portable and powerful. Electric is clean and simple under cover. Natural gas needs a gas line but never needs a tank swap.
  2. Tall propane heaters are often around 40,000 to 48,000 BTUs and warm a circle several feet across. Electric heaters are rated in watts.
  3. Open, windy patios lose heat quickly. Windscreens and sheltered placement help more than a bigger heater.
  4. Look for tip-over shutoff and, for gas heaters, a flame-failure device. Keep clearance from ceilings and walls as the manual specifies.
  5. Never use propane heaters indoors or in enclosed spaces. Electric infrared heaters are the usual choice for covered porches.

How long does a 20lb propane tank last in the AZ Patio Heaters Tall Outdoor?

Running it on a lower setting, when the weather doesn't require full output, stretches that considerably further, sometimes to 14 to 16 hours.

Does the AZ Patio Heaters Tall Outdoor work in windy conditions?

Reasonably well, though like any tall standing heater with an open flame, strong gusts can affect the flame and occasionally trigger the safety shutoff. The wheeled base is a benefit here since it makes it easy to reposition against a wall or windbreak rather than leaving it fully exposed.
