When it comes to outdoor entertaining in the cooler months Tabletop patio heaters
The first thing to consider is safety. Only use patio heaters outside. Both propane and charcoal give off carbon monoxide when lit.
The two main options for a tabletop heater are gas and charcoal. Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. And of course there are also electric patio heaters if you have a consistent electricity supply and your power costs are reasonable.
First let’s look at charcoal braziers. On the plus side they’re the cheapest heaters out there. All you need is a basic bowl with some briquettes in it. Put a fireplace base under it and you’re set for heat.
The disadvantage of charcoal is the mess it leaves behind. You’ll have to clean out the heater after every use. Not to mention having to keep a supply of charcoal on hand for whenever you want to use it.
Next up is a propane heater. The biggest advantage to propane is never having to worry about cleaning it up. Propane burns clean. A propane heater can also be manufactured in a lot more styles than charcoal. You’ll be able to find exactly the right heater.
The biggest draw back to a propane heater is the need for a gas bottle. Unless you buy a fully self-contained unit you’ll have a gas bottle cluttering up the area.
Whatever your choice, a gas, electric or charcoal tabletop patio heater is a great way to add style to your backyard. You can find one in any price range. Even tables that have braziers built into them. The most important thing is finding one that works for your backyard set up.
What Can You Bring To The Table For Exceptional Outdoor Dining? A Tabletop Patio Heater

Do You Frequently Dine or Entertain Outdoors?
If you are one of those families that frequently dine or entertain out of doors, a table patio heater can really enhance the experience. If you and your guests are spending the evening around the table, there is really no need to heat up the whole patio! The heat produced by these table heaters generally covers a circular area of three to four metres which can easily keep the table and the diners warm!
As these little mushroom heaters are smaller than a patio heater, their output is lower – but you will be sitting closer to the source of the heat and keeping cosy with little wastage and a lower heating cost.
How do they work?
These heaters can be freestanding or can be fitted and clamped through the hole meant for a parasol in the centre of the table. This option is becoming increasingly popular as it makes it impossible to tip the heater over and is therefore safer. If you are running a propane gas model, the tank can sit underneath the table out of the way.
In the red…
If you are thinking of going for a gas fuelled table heater, look for an infrared one. New technology means that the heater only needs a tiny amount of gas to kick out a huge amount of heat. This makes them very economical and energy efficient to run.
Three for the price of one!
It’s also possible to buy patio heaters which are a 3 in 1 design. That means that they can be used as full height freestanding heaters or freestanding table heaters or fitted through a patio table. This version gives you maximum flexibility.
At the high end of the market, there are tables available which have integral heaters in their bases. The advantage of these is that the diner’s legs are kept warm, which in turn warms the rest of them! They also come in a variety of attractive finishes such as hammered or antique metals. These tables are expensive to buy but economical to run.
Once you’ve got your table heater up and running, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it!
