Excellent
LOVE this suana. Maya and Norse Steam Team were amazing to work with!
Our propane patio heaters include mounted heaters plumbed to your home supply and a portable heater that holds a propane tank in its base. Most need a licensed gas fitter to connect a propane line. The portable runs without a gas line or electrical connection. Choose an outdoor propane heater around your seating area and whether you want fixed warmth or wheels for your deck.
What a propane patio heater does here
These are the same gas patio heaters, ordered for propane rather than natural gas. An outdoor propane patio heater gives radiant, or infrared, warmth like sunshine, directly warming people and surfaces. It needs fresh air on an open or partly open patio. Our patio heater collection shows the other options.
Plumbed or on a tank
A mounted patio propane heater keeps the floor clear, while the Tungsten portable gas heater carries its tank on wheels. Bromic mounted heaters need electricity for ignition and come with a wall bracket. For a hanging patio heater on a ceiling pole, Bromic guides suggest about 8 to 9 feet above the floor, so check the manual for your model. Compare ceiling options, wall mounted heaters and freestanding options around your seats. For a shortlist, see our propane heater picks.
Meet the two makers
Bromic Heating makes two lines of mounted propane outdoor heater, which differ in their faces and their glow. Tungsten gas heaters have visible mesh, while Platinum gas heaters have tinted glass and a soft red glow. Detroit Radiant builds its heaters in Warren, Michigan. Its gas box and tube heaters suit a seating area or a longer strip of seats, with two stage heating available in the box heater and standard in the tubes.
When electric suits better
An electric patio heater needs no venting and can suit an enclosed patio. An electrician installs it. Our guide explains how to choose gas or electric for your space.

Your propane heating questions
How long will a 20 pound propane tank last on a patio heater?
Only the portable heater uses a 20 pound tank, and its listing gives no hours per tank. Run time depends on heat setting and weather, so call us before planning an evening around one tank. A gas fitter connects the mounted heaters to a propane line.
Can you use a propane heater under a covered patio?
Gas needs fresh air on open or partly open patios, never enclosed rooms. Bromic needs about 3 feet above, or 14 inches with its heat deflector, so check the manual for your model. Vented tube heaters can duct exhaust outside for a covered patio with a solid roof.
What are the drawbacks of using outdoor propane heaters?
Mounted heaters need a gas fitter and fresh air. Bromic mounted heaters switch on or off, while the portable needs tank refills. A propane patio heater can warm up to about 215 square feet, offering more heat per heater than electric, with no line needed for the portable.
