Overview

An entertainer with a dinner party or game night to host gets an overhead propane heater whose arm aims heat down and outward through a wide heat shield and cone burner. A stainless steel drink table is built into the column.

Heat lands where guests sit instead of around a tower, and the arm folds down for storage. A wheeled base rolls the whole unit to where it is needed. Open air use is the firm rule: it needs clear sky with no overhangs or umbrellas above.

Who it's for

Hosts who entertain around one table, with open sky above it, will use the directed heat and the built-in drink table. Covered patios and small balconies are poor places for it, and the tank is an extra purchase.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Swivel arm directs heat over the table
  • Hidden tank storage behind a door
  • Stainless steel drink table
  • Wheeled base rolls to storage
Cons
  • Propane tank sold separately
  • Open air use only, no overhangs
  • Large, heavy unit to move

Performance notes

A cone burner sends heat down and outward through a wide reflective shield, and the swivel arm aims it over the table. Coverage is stated as a floor area, but wind and distance still decide how warm people feel. Fuel stays out of sight in the enclosed base.
