Field & Flame Alder CZGB-1 Pyramid Gas Patio Heater (Black, 227cm Height)

What size gas bottle does this heater require?

This heater works with standard patio gas bottles (propane) and comes supplied with a 27mm clip-on regulator. Most common patio gas bottles from garden centres and DIY stores will be compatible. The regulator simply clips onto the bottle valve without requiring tools, making gas bottle changes quick and straightforward.

How much area will this heater effectively warm?

With 45,000 BTU output, this heater effectively warms outdoor areas up to approximately 15-20 square metres depending on wind conditions and ambient temperature. The pyramid design distributes heat in a 360-degree pattern, making it ideal for circular seating arrangements or positioning in corner locations where heat can reflect off walls or structures.

Is this heater safe to use in windy conditions?

The heater features a robust construction and glass-enclosed flame design that provides good wind resistance. However, like all gas patio heaters, it should not be used in extremely windy conditions where gusts could affect the flame or tip stability. The substantial 24kg weight and wide base provide good stability in normal outdoor conditions.

Can this heater be left outside permanently?

Whilst the heater features weather-resistant construction, it's recommended to use the included protective PVC cover when not in use and store in a sheltered location during harsh weather. The charcoal-black finish is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, but covering extends the lifespan and maintains the premium appearance over multiple seasons.

How easy is it to move this heater around?

The integrated wheels make moving this 24kg heater straightforward for one person. The wheels are positioned to support the weight distribution effectively, allowing easy rolling across patios, decking and level garden surfaces. The freestanding design means no installation required - simply position where needed and connect the gas bottle.

What maintenance does this heater require?

Regular maintenance involves checking gas connections for leaks, cleaning the glass cylinder and ensuring the burner area remains free from debris. The stainless steel components should be wiped clean periodically and the protective cover used when storing. Annual professional servicing is recommended to ensure safe operation and optimal performance.

How long will a gas bottle last with this heater?

Gas consumption depends on the heat setting used, but typically a standard 13kg patio gas bottle provides approximately 10-15 hours of operation on maximum setting. Using lower heat settings extends operating time significantly. The adjustable controls allow you to balance heat output with gas consumption based on weather conditions and comfort requirements.

Does this heater require any assembly?

The heater arrives largely pre-assembled with minimal setup required. You'll need to attach the wheels, connect the gas regulator and position the glass cylinder components. Clear instructions are provided and most users complete setup within 30 minutes. No specialist tools are required, making it suitable for DIY assembly by most people.
