Table top heaters belong on a patio as much as a commercial or a residential patio heater does. These heaters are just a smaller version of the standard outdoor patio heater. They will not heat a huge area, but can keep you warm around a table or desk when the temperature outside drops.

There are many different types of table top heaters. One that provides the most heat for its size is the propane table top heater. These heaters can raise the temperature of a small area approximately 25 degrees. This can allow you to enjoy your outdoor activities even in the winter.

In addition to the heat provided by the these heaters, they also add ambiance to any outdoor table top setting. They are very stylish and should fit well with just about any type of patio furniture.

Propane table top heaters are safe. They usually have a shut off tilt valve and an oxygen depletion sensor. These safety features will allow you to enjoy your heater even more and not have to worry about accidents or injuries.

Most small propane heaters use a standard propane cylinder. They are adjustable to a maximum of 11K BTU's (11,000 British Thermal Units). As long as there is moderate to low wind outside, this heater should keep you warm and comfortable.

These heaters are lightweight and portable and most come with a safety grill guard along with the shut off tilt valve and oxygen depletion sensor mentioned earlier. They are easy to use and most have an easy one step ignition lighter.

If a propane table top patio heater is used on the inside, you will have to have extra safety precautions. There should be proper ventilation when using this type of heater in an enclosed area. Keep in mind that these are small heaters and will not heat a medium to larger size area. Usually these types of heaters will provide a 360 degree circle of radiant heat (radiant heaters heat by sending out infrared rays that heat the objects that come in contact with it).

When a full-size heater is not required or will not fit in a required space or maybe you want more of "personal" sized heater for your needs, remember the propane table top patio heater may fill the needs you have. They are perfect for smaller outdoor areas, camping, patio tables or any area where warmth is needed in a small localized area.
