Details: AMAZON-111 – Ember Patio Heater – Gun Metal Finish – Propane Configuration

Brand: Lava Heat Italia

The Lava Heat Italia Ember Collapsible Liquid Propane Gas Patio Heater sports a classic look that belies its high-tech interior. The Ember is unique in that it is able to collapse from 6 feet to 4 feet for easy storage. Borosilicate glass allows for 360-degrees of heat distribution in a 5-foot radius, while the fire can be viewed from any angle. Its proprietary spiral flame technology adds elegance to the warmth and ambiance generated by natural flame. The protective steel grill is one single piece that never gets hot and puts a safe distance between you and the flame. The Ember patio heater can be operated for up to 10 hours with a 20 lb. propane tank (LP tank not included). It has solid steel construction, weighted base and an “Easy Start” electronic ignition. The built-in Safe Tilt switch shuts the unit off if it tilts or falls over.

Buyer Guide For Patio Heaters

Fuel Type. Choose between propane, natural gas, or electric heaters. Propane is portable but needs refilling, natural gas requires installation but is cost-effective, and electric heaters are convenient but may increase energy bills.
Heating Power. Look at BTU (British Thermal Units) ratings. Most residential patio heaters range from 40,000 to 50,000 BTUs. Higher BTUs mean more heat output and larger coverage area.
Coverage Area. Consider the size of your outdoor space. Calculate the square footage you need to heat and match it with the heater’s coverage capabilities.
Safety Features. Look for units with:

• Auto shut-off if tipped over
• Protective grills
• Weather-resistant construction
• Stable base design

Mobility. Consider if you need to move the heater around. Look for models with wheels if portability is important.
Weather Resistance. Ensure the heater is suitable for your climate and has proper weather protection features.
Style and Design. Choose a design that complements your outdoor d?cor. Options include standing, mounted, or tabletop models.
Cost and Maintenance. Factor in both purchase price and long-term operating costs. Consider maintenance requirements and parts availability.
