Today I will be reviewing the Thermo Tiki Propane outdoor patio heater. This patio heater is a good choice for those who like a classic look. The fire is mounted in the middle of the room and can be seen from all sides. It is made of steel and is about 7.5’ tall. A 20-lb. propane tank is enough to keep it going for hours.
The metal frame of the product is made from high-quality steel and aluminum. The structure can be left outside during winter. The heat can cover a 15′ circle by generating 38,000 BTU.
- Stylish, commercial quality: Expertly crafted from premium, high-grade steel and aluminum, this professional-grade, 7' 6" tall outdoor propane gas heater with a dancing flame in a pyramid-style column produces both radiant warmth and exquisite beauty. Built-to-last with durable, weather-resistant components which include a rust, fade and corrosion-resistant finish, this heater is designed to withstand extreme climates, harsh sun, and abrasive salt air.
- Ultra-efficient heating coverage: Providing a comfortably wide field of warmth up to a 15' diameter, the heater's ceramic-glass heating column produces an extremely high, true-rated 38,000 BTU output, however, these heaters are sometimes quoted at their "peak output" of 42,000-45,000 BTU.
- Safe & certified: The heater features a built-in safety valve that will automatically shut off the fuel supply (shutting down the heater) if unit is tilted or tipped. It also includes protective mesh surrounding the ceramic-glass heating column, and a pilot light for safer startup/shutdown. It is also compliant with ANSI, CE, and CSA standards and specifications.
- Transportable: Includes wheels for convenient transport or storage
- Easy assembly & operation: Heater features a simple push-button ignition for fast and simple operation, and a temperature control knob provides easy adjustability of both the height and intensity of the dancing flame. All accessories required for use are provided in the box, including a ceramic-glass heating element, heavy-duty propane gas regulator and a pre-attached flexible hose. Simply supply your own standard 20-pound propane tank and fuel.
