Feel the heat
This is what separates a Timber from everything else: the heat. Pick a heater. The ring is its max heating radius from our spec sheet, drawn to scale. Each square is 2 feet. Running a restaurant or a big patio? Add a second or third heater and watch the rings overlap.
Which heater is right for you?
Same fuel and the same no-power design across the line. The difference is how much space you need to warm.

Real stories, real warmth
We could not be happier with our Scout tabletop patio heater. We took scout with us exploring Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Scout kept the entire family warm and cozy while admiring our daily rock haul.
We love our Big Timber patio heater. It really puts out the heat, better than any propane fired heater I have experienced. Strongly recommend.
If you want to warm your bald spot and freeze your feet, buy a propane heater. If you want to warm your whole body, buy a Big Timber.
Love the glow and comforting warmth sitting around the fire and dreaming of past camping trips... Two year owner and Timber Stoves owners are responsive and extremely helpful.
No more washing 6 jackets every time we want to have a night on the patio!
Timber Stoves are great quality and awesome customer service when ordering accessories, etc. I highly recommend calling them directly when you order and talking to someone live. Quality products and people! 5+ stars!
Had a "Super Bowl" party and everybody enjoyed sitting around the stove and staying warm. It's easy to move around with the wheels that come with it, looks and works good, and is economical to burn, no expensive propane.
With the hopper extension I can fit the entire 50 pound bag of pellets in it. I get somewhere around 5 hours of heat. That comes out to about a dollar an hour.
A glass panel cracked and I dreaded a bad customer service experience but they sent me a replacement panel that was super easy to install.
Watch the fire
Pour pellets in the hopper, light them by hand and close the door. Gravity and the draft of the stove pipe do the rest. Turn the damper dial to raise or lower the heat.
Real fire. Nothing to plug in.
Virtually no smoke
The fire burns hot inside the firebox. Nobody plays musical chairs to dodge it.
No propane
Wood pellets fuel a real fire behind glass. No tanks to haul, swap or refill.
No electricity
No auger, no blower fan, no cord. Gravity feeds the pellets.
Radiant heat
Warms people, not just the air. Up to a 12 ft heating radius on the Big Timber and Revere.
Built by hand
Every heater is built by a small family shop.
Nobody goes inside
The party used to end when the sun went down. Now it ends when you run out of pellets. Radiant heat warms people, not just the air, so the whole circle stays comfortable.
- Up to a 12 ft heating radius on the Big Timber and Revere
- A real fire to watch through glass on three sides
- Virtually no smoke, so nobody plays musical chairs
The fire stays where it belongs
The flame burns inside a stainless firebox behind glass, so there are no flying embers and no open pit in the middle of the yard. The Elite models wrap the whole heater in a tapered stainless cage for extra space between little hands and hot steel.
- Enclosed flame behind the firebox window
- Tapered stainless Elite cage, or add the safety cage later
- Shut it down any time with the shutoff key
See what we're cooking next
When everybody wanted a pizza oven, Tyson wanted one that ran on pellets. So he built the RAD: one pellet burner base, two tops that swap on and off, a griddle and a pizza oven. It's patented and it works. We're still refining it and building it in small runs, so it takes a while to get one. Get on the list and we'll tell you when the next batch is ready.
Keep the fire going
Gravity does the work
No auger, no blower fan, no electricity. Pellets feed down from the hopper and the draft of the stove pipe pulls air up through the firepot.
Fill the hopper
Pour heating pellets in the back. The Big Timber holds 20 lb, about two hours of fire.
Light it by hand
A little fire gel or charcoal lighter fluid on the pellets in the firepot. That is the whole startup.
Gravity feeds it
It works like a log jam. Fresh pellets sit at the top of the chute, the middle burns and the bottom glows down to ash. As the fuel burns away, new pellets drop in on their own.
Dial in the heat
Turn the damper dial to raise or lower the temperature by about 250 degrees.
Made for the cold
"Now I am drinking eggnog perfectly toasty on a 30 degree night." Propane struggles when it gets cold. A wood fire does not. The colder it gets, the better a Timber feels.
Tracy, Big Timber Elite owner
The gift that keeps everyone outside
For the person who already owns every grill tool. A heater they will use every night of the season, built by a family shop in Oregon.
I hate being cold outside.
Tyson Traeger, founder
So in 2010 he built a heater in an old barn. It was not perfect, but it worked, and the neighbor down the road bought it. Tyson and Karen still run a small family shop, and every heater is built by hand.

ReadStraight answers
Does it need electricity?
No. There is no auger, no blower fan and no cord. Pellets feed by gravity from the hopper into the firebox, and the draft of the stove pipe pulls air up through the firepot.
What pellets should I use?
Heating pellets, not BBQ pellets. Heating pellets have no flavor additives and a higher BTU rating. Pellets rated 8,000 BTU per pound or higher work great. Quality varies by region, so ask us. Call the shop and we'll point you to a pellet that burns right where you live.
How much area does it heat?
The Big Timber and Revere have up to a 12 ft heating radius, the Lil Timber 10 ft and the Scout 5 ft. Wind and temperature change what you feel.
What does the warranty cover?
Timber Stoves heaters carry a 3-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship under normal use, from the date of original purchase. It does not cover the finish.
Can I return it?
Products bought directly from Timber Stoves can be returned within 30 days of the original ship date. Holiday orders placed Nov 19 to Dec 25 get 45 days. Items must be unused, unassembled and in the original packaging. Bought from a dealer? Their return policy applies.
