Default Is this patio heater any good?

Seems OK and the price seems OK too. I want to sit out with a beer and watch the stars but it's a bit cold!!!

Anyone got a PH, please advise.

Wear a coat
They are by far the most inefficient form of heating around, hence why the tree huggers hate them.
You might as well just set fire to your stash of money, probably work out cheaper

I think you will find thats a Chiminea... isnt chimineer that cheese they use in Indian cooking?

Have to agree with the 1st reply tho, inefficient bit of kit - heat rises so a heat source above where you want the heat with a reflector is a bit daft.

I'm with the "put a jumper on" crew - or, if you have heated bike kit, get a small portable battery so you can use that

Oh, and I happen to think Patio heaters are just a little bit chavvy
