REALGLOW Real Flame Outdoor Pyramid Patio Heater in Black - 13KW Propane Gas Standing Floor Heater for Outdoors & Gardens - Outside Space Heating for Decking

What size gas bottle does this patio heater use?

The Real Flame Patio Heater accommodates up to a 13kg gas bottle. This larger capacity means you'll need fewer gas bottle changes compared to smaller heaters. The unit runs on standard 27mm propane cylinders including Calor Patio Gas, BP Gas Light and Flogas Leisure brands. The hose and regulator come included in the box so you can connect it straight away.

How does the ignition system work?

This heater features an automatic ignition system that lights up in all weather conditions. You won't need matches or lighters which eliminates the safety risks and hassles of manual lighting. The system is designed to work reliably even in windy or damp conditions that might affect other outdoor heating methods.

What area does this heater warm effectively?

The 13KW power output provides radiant heating in a circular pattern around the unit. Radiant heating works by warming objects and people directly rather than just heating the air. This makes it more effective outdoors where air movement would disperse warm air quickly. The pyramid design helps direct heat outwards efficiently.

Can I use this heater during summer months?

Yes, the heater works as an ambient gas flare during warmer months. Even when you don't need the heat output, the real flame creates atmosphere for outdoor dining or entertaining. This dual functionality means you get year-round use from your investment rather than storing it away for half the year.

Is this heater suitable for all weather conditions?

The unit is designed for all-year outdoor use and will operate in various weather conditions. The ignition system works reliably in wind and damp conditions. However, like all gas appliances, you should follow safety guidelines and avoid using it in extreme weather such as heavy rain or strong winds that could affect safe operation.

How portable is this patio heater?

The heater features a portable pedestal design that allows you to move it around your outdoor space as needed. While the exact weight isn't specified, the unit is designed to be repositioned easily. The gas bottle sits securely in the base providing stability while the overall design remains manageable for relocation.

What's included when I buy this heater?

The package includes the complete patio heater unit plus the hose and regulator needed for gas connection. This means you can connect it to your propane cylinder immediately without purchasing additional components. You'll just need to buy the gas bottle separately from your local supplier.

How does radiant heating compare to other outdoor heating methods?

Radiant heating provides direct warmth to people and objects rather than trying to heat the surrounding air. This makes it much more efficient outdoors where air movement would quickly disperse heated air. You feel the warmth immediately when you're within the heating radius, similar to standing in sunlight. This direct heating method uses less energy to achieve comfortable warmth levels.
