Why restaurants buy them

Built for patios that stay busy

01

Guests stay longer

Radiant heat warms people from the ground up, not just the air over their heads. Warm guests order another round.

02

A fire to watch

A real flame behind glass sets the mood on its own. It is the thing people take a photo of.

03

Half the running cost

Pellets run about $0.63 an hour. A propane heater runs about $2.00 and puts out half the heat.

04

Nothing to break

No electricity, no auger, no fan. Gravity feeds the pellets. Stainless steel top to bottom.

The commercial lineup

Caged heaters for busy patios

Most restaurants buy an Elite. It is the same heater inside our stainless safety cage, so guests and staff keep their distance from hot steel.

Longer burns

The hopper extension

A hopper extension is an extra pellet bin that adds onto the hopper. Stack them to burn longer between fills. It fits the Lil Timber, Big Timber and Revere.

The safety cage is a different thing. It wraps the heater in stainless so guests and staff keep their distance from hot steel.

  • Stacks for longer burns between fills
  • Fits the Lil Timber, Big Timber and Revere
  • Add wheels, a cover and a heater pad for daily use
