Electric Deck Heaters?

[md4958]

if youre looking to just warm yourself then you could try one of these

i used one last winter and it worked great... sometimes too well and i had to shut down one or two of the elements. Uses propane.

Obviously not ideal if youre looking to warm the entire deck.

I use something similar Moe with dual elements.I will add that I use it inside the garage with a window open.
The tank will last up two weeks for me,depending on what heat setting and how many elements are used.

I use one of these and they work really well as it is radiant heat and only heats what is in front of it. Even if it's cold and windy, it still works but you have to be closer to it and somewhat shielded from the wind. Allows us to smoke on the front porch during the winter without wearing gloves.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.


Dave - I hope you have a Carbon Monoxide monitor in there or you just might end up

I said window but usually it's a window and a door.
Plus I have a table top propane heater that does have carbon monoxide detector

I would go with propane as well. They are more efficient than the electric and in the long run will cost less. Unless your electric bill is being paid by someone else. At 1500 watts(full power) you will see the electric meter spin. Also, you may have trouble with breakers depending on what else is on the same circuit when you are using the electric heater.

When I have been to Dave's - the intense cloud of cigar smoke neutralizes any carbon monoxide that might consider lingering around.

Switched to gas and never looked back. IF you can run a gas line it is well worth it!
