Patio Heaters

Who's got what?

I'm liking the idea of one of the table mounted electric ones, but have only seen a few (all be it positive) reviews. I'd also like a fire pit for the manliness of it, but they aren't as instant or convenient as something electric.

I have a table top gas one.

Works lovely. Also have a fire basket but the smoke is a pain

Got a regular gas patio heater. Can't remember where it was from, but it was one of the more expensive ones (John Lewis probably knowing us). Use the Gaslight cylinders as they weigh a good bit lighter than your regular bottles of Calor.

I didn't know there were table top gas ones. Do they use smaller bottles, or is there a long hose to a bottle on the floor?

Had a Calor Gas table top patio heater, didn't like, as it had a long hose which connected to a standard patio gas bottle

.

Other half tripped over hose more than once, plus with a young kid around, the hot burner was at his height, which I didn't like.

Prefer a standard height heater now.

Anyone got a bio ethanol burner? How much heat do they put out?

This is a good point and I think if the heat was on a table it would probably be a bit to much "in your face" for my liking
