Fire Sense Stainless Steel Pyramid Flame Patio Heater at a glance

What we like

  • A visible flame in a glass tube, so it doubles as ambiance
  • 40,000 BTU output with electronic ignition and an auto-shutoff tilt system, per the maker
  • Stainless burner and heating grid, with wheels for moving it

Trade-offs

  • Lower output than the 48,000–50,000 BTU tall models
  • About 65 lbs and 88 inches tall, so it's a heavy unit to move
  • Heats in every direction rather than aiming warmth at a seating area, per the maker
Best for

Skip it if
Maximum heat per dollar is your top priority.
  • Output: 40,000 BTU
