Our Verdict

This propane heater puts out up to 60,000 BTU. It covers 1,350 sq ft, far more than most portable electric heaters. Garages, workshops, and job sites are where it performs best.

Variable BTU output lets you dial between 30,000 and 60,000 BTU. The adjustable heat angle points airflow exactly where you need it. Electronic ignition makes every startup reliable and safe.

It has no tip-over protection and no thermostat. Most indoor space heaters include both of these safety features. Always supervise this unit while it runs.

Propane costs more to run than electricity. Budget for ongoing fuel expenses. Only use it in spaces with adequate ventilation.

What We Like

  • Outputs up to 60,000 BTU and heats up to 1,350 sq ft of space.
  • Variable BTU control lets you adjust heat from 30,000 to 60,000 BTU.
  • Continuous electronic ignition prevents dangerous delayed ignition at startup.

What Could Be Better

  • No built-in thermostat, so you must manually adjust heat output at all times.
  • No timer function, so automatic shutoff scheduling is not possible.
  • Requires liquid propane fuel, which costs significantly more per BTU than electric power.
  • No remote control, requiring you to walk to the unit to make any adjustments.
