can I use this heater on a small patio?

Hello Kathy, This heater works very well in a small room. If the patio is open, it would probably keep you warm if it was near you and pointed at you. It doesn't make a lot of noise. I hope this answers your question.

It all depends on where you live. Frankly it's lovely for garden items but I doubt I'd use it for a studio. Just me mind you. I bought my husband a small heater for it and it works fine for that space.

This heater has thermostat temperature controls or can be manually turned on to run continuously on high or low setting. Can't tell you by temperature how warm it would get in such a small area, but it would be uncomfortable for sure. Also don't know if there may be a high temperature safety shut off built in.

Yes, it could be used outdoors. It would deteriorate quickly because it is not designed to be weatherproof. I do not think you would be happy with the heat output because you would lose the combustion gases which have most if the heat. I would look for a radiant heater for this application.

I would definitely look elsewhere for your application. This heater uses a lot of electricity, and is not really suited to this.

You sure can. I added one to mine. Just make sure it is a heater for under a five gallon tank

As long as the heater is kept dry, then yes, it should work just fine. It's not weatherproof per se, but should have no problem in an open air environment. The heat dissapation will depend on the wind, air flow, etc, so it may lose some efficiency yet still work

It depends upon the distance from the top of the heater to the ceiling. If this is on the floor and you have a standard ceiling - it should be ok. If you set it on a table you may have a problem. The bigger problem is that it is fire. Fire takes the oxygen out of the air and puts carbon monoxide in the air. Carbon monoxide will kill you. So if the patio is enclosed - OPEN THE WINDOWS.

Just like the other people said, your answer is yes. For me it's not a gigantic heater, I use it for my feet at my desk and it works perfect for that. I guess in a small room it would probably work OK also, just take a bit of time where warming my feet is instant.

I don't think so. I use it in a small enclosed space but it may not get warm enough in an open space. Doesn't get as hot as a baseboard heater.

Sure, but I think it would be a waste and it won't do squat to heat the garage. It is really only suitable for heating a very small enclosed area, like a small bathroom. If you are using it to keep you warm while at a work bench in the garage or something, it might work if you keep it a couple of feet from you. Overall, I'd suggest saving your money and buying another product.

Yes, it's no larger than a grill and would fit well on a patio. We keep ours near an outdoor seating area and haven't had any odor issues either, so I think even on a small patio it would be fine.

Yes, but it will deplete the oxygen in the air and in too small of a room since it is not vented. Therefore it should not be used as a sole source of heat in a living area. Is fine for basements, garages and emergency heat.

Absolutely. Mine is on the patio and has helped reduce not only the temp in the house but has helped lower the electric bill a little. It's a great shade and I really recommend it.

1 heater is perfect cause it is a small tank. More then one would just crowd the space

I do - i use mine to connect a patio heater to QC gasline in Denver. We had -20 over night temps for at leaset a week straight last year

Hi. I would not advise this as a solution. Try an outdoor heater like this: http://www.patioshoppers.com/products/Black_Steel_Wall_Mounted_Infrared_Patio_Heater-2760-0.html?utm_source=froogle&utm;_medium=feed&utm;_campaign=froogle&gclid;=COiUtoWin7sCFbA7MgodswkA7wOr if there's enough room for it, you could get a propane heater: http://www.meijer.com/s/fire-sense-mocha-commercial-patio-heater/_/R-196664?CAWELAID=1018803253&cagpspn;=pla&cmpid;=Google-G_US_Meijer_eCom_PLA_Outdoor_Living_Patio&g;clid=CNnN8aGin7sCFclaMgodMk8AGQ&kpid;=275028Or you could get an outdoor fire ring, but this particular unit isn't going to be enough for a New York winter patio warmer. It's really meant for ambiance. Hope this helps. Hi. I would not advise this as a solution.
