Back porch in the winter

md4958 · 11-18-2010, 06:57 PM

I use a propane heater up here in chilly New England. I have a 3 burner, and a two burner. I'll use them on the back deck till it gets too cold, and then smoke in the garage (they come in handy there too).

A chimnea might be nice, but for a quick smoke it would probably be a pain to get it going.

That's kinda what I was thinking about the chiminea, but wasn't sure.

Are those the ones that attach directly to the tank? How do those work in open air? Or, would the porch need to have a wind block like Brutus2600 was talking about?

Well, I use it on my back deck, and while its somewhat protected I would say the heater does a decent job at radiating heat. If its that windy, ill smoke in the garage.

As a lifetime resident of Houston TX, I rarely get to brag about the weather, but it is nice to never worry about freezing my a$$ off while smoking a cigar.

The downside might be worse though. Suffering 100% humidity in +100 degree weather during the summer is also damn near unbearable.

I Use The 2 Burner "Clip On" To The propane tank- < $90 @ Lowe's. Works Great in 32* Mobile Weather!
