The Cuisinart Tabletop Patio Heater will be a stylish addition to your outdoor entertaining space. Place in the center of your patio table for warmth while you dine with friends and family, keeping you and your guests warm while the night settles in. Lightweight and small, this heater can be easily taken anywhere and set on a table; perfect for camping and tailgating. With an 11,000 BTU output, this heater is small but mighty and will heat up an area of about 30 sq. ft. The propane heater can also be connected to a 20-lb. propane tank for longer use, with an optional hose/regulator (not included). Similar to the larger patio heaters, the top plate acts as a reflector, disturbing the heat evenly. For your protection, there is a built-in anti-tilt automatic shut-off technology that will shut the unit off if it is tipped over. Another safety feature is the burner screen guard, keeping you safe from the heating element itself.
