58" Wood pellet Patio Heater with Glass Tube, Portable Pellet Heater FP042

Bought this for the ambiance, light, and heat. Works perfect and puts off decent heat. It is a very unique and cool addition to our patio! It is built with solid materials and as a metal fabricator myself, I am pleased with the quality. You will get a feel for how many pellets to add for what amount of time you want it to burn. They have also added an ash tray which is a nice addition so you don’t have to make your own. Yes, you cannot put it out but if you plan accordingly that isn’t a big deal. I would recommend to anyone considering buying it!

Looks good, so far. Disappointed there was no assembly instructions or even a parts list or instructions on how to use. Fortunately, it was fairly easy to work out how to assemble. Had there been missing parts, I would have no way of knowing. Seems to be well-constructed though, time will tell. Having a cover available would be nice. I’ve seen other, similar products at 10X the price!

Piece of absolute garbage

I am generally pleased with this item. A couple of things to note, getting the fire started required some type of kindling in the little firebox, a couple of squares of prefire starter works fine, but honestly any left over paper from your junk mail pile would probably do the trick also. once lit, it remains lit for a while. The challenger with this guy is estimating how long you want the fire to run as when the pellets run low and the fire is burning down, it's a little difficult to add pellets and keep the fire going. I kept shaking it to try and get the pellets down into the fire, but I think all I was doing was compacting the pellets and reducing airflow. I think it works well as long as you start with the right amount of fuel. Along those lines, I'm going to start overfilling and then if I decide I don't need the fire anymore, I will drain the pellets through the little door and let the remaining ones burn out. The tube gets pretty dirty also, even when I remove it from the pre and post fire smoldering. Oh well. It's easy enough to clean. When it is running, it looks pretty cool and it makes a sound like a small jet engine is running, which is actually a nice sound. A little white noise.

I love this item, but there are a few issues. Really needs a bigger base, and should probably have 4 legs instead of 3, mine fell over and broke on a medium wind, nothing dramatic. You need to clean it regularly to keep it performing well, if it gets dirty the flame is pretty low. You can't keep it out as it may blow over, but it does not really turn off, you just empty out the excess pellets and it keeps burning with a low flame, so you can't put it indoors for at least 30 minutes as it keeps smoking. Do not pour water onto the pellets as it will stain the glass tube dark brown, and is very tough to clean. If you buy it, save the foam for the glass tube, and store the tube instead of the whole unit, as the tube cools down pretty quick and doesn't keep smoking like the base. Use a firestarter or tinder to light it, as it takes some time to get going. I had success with different pellets, and even the cheap ones worked well. Even with all the issues, it looks really cool and heats at least as well as the propane patio heaters. If I can get a replacement tube, I will, even if I have to pay. Update - I contacted their customer service, and they are replacing the entire unit for free, plus sent me instructions on how to get more out of the heater. Great customer service!

This fire pit was super easy to assemble — I didn’t even need the instructions. The design is clean and efficient, and the flame it produces is impressive. Just one cup of pellets gives you about 15 minutes of burn time. I’m not sure of the total capacity, but I’ve been using it for up to two hours at a time with no issues. I’m really happy with both the product and the price point. I don’t often leave reviews, but this one earned it. Highly recommended.

For the price, this is a pretty neat little patio heater. Definitely like how the fire runs up the glass tube. The fins inside spin the air around the flame so it draws it up the tube. Very unique idea. Only a couple drawbacks but they are small. Biggest thing is is you would need to be aware of where you are setting it and make sure nothing flammable is on the ground around it as the ash as it burns falls out onto the ground. Really the only thing I can complain about but you could set it inside a metal pan and be just fine. Well worth the money.

This thing is super cool! There are a couple of drawbacks. It takes a few minutes to light, be patient. The glass tube get pretty dirty after a couple of uses. The instructions tell you to remove the tube when lighting to help keep it clean, we do this but it still gets pretty dirty after just a few uses. We did try the vinegar method like recommended by the instructions, it work pretty good. We found using purple power cleaner cleans it right up! We would of gave it 5 stars but the screen that holds the pellets in while lighting it already burned/rusted through. I had a piece of metal screen already and cut it to fit and seams to be working well. We have had this for just about a month. All that said this thing is still pretty cool, puts off some nice heat and a great glow.

Item is well made and works great. Unfortunately, it does not really produce a lot of heat, but it is a great addition to any patio for visual effect. Would benefit having an available rain proof cover and ash box.

Doesn't throw the best heat in open areas as most of it goes up and out, but looks great. Hard to light but I imagine this is a bit of a learning curve. Carbons up so cleaning is needed after two burns or so, but still worth it. Should not be used in the rain and should be not kept outside as I can see this will rust quickly. All in all, good product, great visuals! Great price to what I saw in the UK. I am very happy with the pair I bought.

VRAIMENT UN ITEM DE CONVERSATION FACILE A MONTÉ J ADORE LE MIEN UN BONNE ACHAT

I loved this pellet heater, BUT I DO NOT recommend purchasing it as it is impossible to get a replacement glass. I'm in Canada. The company said to buy a tube that is 12" taller, made for the tall pyramid heaters, this would be very dangerous, on this tri-pod style, heater.

I was sceptical that this would deliver a great flame. I was wrong. It lights easily, gives great light and heat. Some sort of a heat shield might be handy to reflect heat in the direction where you sit. I am going to buy more to have around my property.
