Pellet Patio Heater

Anyone have any experience with a pellet patio heater? Looking for something that works better than the standard propane patio heaters (which in my opinion are awful)

I have a couple of NG radiant heaters under my patio seam to work well plenty of heat. Would you not be better of with a wood stove compared to a pellet?Messy but cheaper to buy and run I would think

Possibly, but I like the idea of portability and how you can use them on a wood deck (with a mat) as they’re contained and toploaded.

I see the pellet one uses 30 lbs in 3 hours on max.Whats the price of a bag of pellets?

5 bucks a 40 lb bag at Canadian tire. Those are heater pellets, not food grade.

I stand corrected, 6.50

Fuel burn isn’t too $$ depending on where you usually buy your propane. I know my LP heater chews through fuel pretty quick.

The BTU output is what interests me.. some over 100,000 for a pellet heater. That’s double some LP heaters.
