They are honestly cheaper than propane I think a little bit better heat considering its form factor. I honestly highly recommend them, especially one this inexpensive.
How is the heating feel compared to gas heaters like that? I understand the BTU rating is high but how does it feel standing next to it in comparison to gas?
The smoke is pretty minimal depending on the pellets you get of course.. when it goes out or stops feeding and then relights it does tend to smoke pretty good
Looking for one of those but I have a Trex deck and don't wanna melt/warp it. Thinking a reflector pad on the bottom and another one on the back between the heater and the railing spindles may be all that's needed. I also grill on the deck and having a 2' gap between the grill and the spindles seems to be enough, though that's usually on for only 20-30 mins, guessing we'd use something like this for a few hours if we're sitting out with company. Any thoughts?
Honestly, I don't think you'll have enough heat transfer to melt your deck. Underneath my heater it's still cool to the touch. Having said that, your experience could be different than mine. They make things you can put down to protect whatever is underneath the heater.
Great video Bradley! Which heats better this one or the Chimney model? Which one you like better and why? I'm contemplating buy one but not sure which one. Thanks in advance!
I have the one similar to this one, the $400 one, and I also bought the chimnea this year. I returned the chimnea. It looks and works nicer, but the heat output just isn’t the same.
Hi Bradley. I was looking to get the Even Embers Chiminea model, but it seems to be out of stock everywhere. I'm worried that this model is too tall, since my patio ceiling is approx 100 inches, and this unit is 80 inches. Here's my question... There is a middle chimney piece that you installed on this model. Is it possible to not install the middle chimney, and simply install the top chimney to the bottom chimney? Does it look like they would slide together easily? I appreciate you taking a look and letting me know.
You can absolutely not install the middle piece and it works. It ends up being shorter, that’s what I did. Don’t get the chimnea, I bought it and the heat output is way less
We just got one and I am apprehensive of putting it together since it states in the instructions not to operate it on the wood deck or under an overhang. Do you have any thoughts on this?
I see you have reviewd this one, as well as the shorter Chiminea model. Which one has more heat output? I am looking to use on a covered/screened-in patio
@@PortlyGentlemanouch. I have the chiminea and the heat output even on high with flames nearly coming out the top cover isn’t great if the outdoor temp is below 55F.
I have a pellet insert in my fireplace, and a hot water pellet boiler, I saw this and had to have it, ill use it to heat up my 3 car garage while I'm working on a car. My torpedo heater just stopped working and instead of sinking money and time into it, I figured i have plenty of pellets, so why not have a outdoor pellet stove. Now its time for me to try my stove out.
I was thinking in my house 🤷 on 12x12 patio pavers I mean it's no different then a log stove all panels hot. Obviously put 2 or 3 layer through wall pipe
Just curious as I just purchased one if you ended up trying fire bricks in it or if you've found any other way to get some more heat out of it. Thanks.
I just ordered it. The one for $199 had to be shipped. Not sure if it's in any of the stores...it isn't around here at least. The one in the stores around here is $399.
Our boy has a nice little brewing set in the back there!!
🍻
Looks like a nice addition to the patio. And a good price - thanks for sharing! Going to buy one for my husband.
He's going to be happy 🍻
Good review Bradley, I've never considered a pellet burning stove for outside use, until now. Thanks!
They are honestly cheaper than propane I think a little bit better heat considering its form factor.
I honestly highly recommend them, especially one this inexpensive.
How much does it raise ambient temp? Like on a 50° night are you comfortable or do you need a coat or blanket to stay warm?
Thank you
My pleasure
Got 1 in my shop so far so good, it does smoke a bunch when it dies but it's got wheels if things get edge
Nice
Any difference between a log stove and this? I'm thinking of using it indoors in my home 🤷
how much heat do you get? how close do you need to sit next to it?
Looks good but do you turn it off?
There's a flap in the pellet Hopper slide that down and it will stop the floats. After that it takes about 10 minutes to burn out
I might have to check one of those out
I recommend it 🍻

It's more powerful and more efficient. Gas is going to be easier obviously
I just got one and I absolutely love it, but I can’t figure out how to do the handle on the door😢
Hopefully you figured out the handle. I should have shown that better in the video
Hey Bradley, can you please tell me what the diameter of the chimney pipe is? Good review, i appreciate your insights.
I believe the pipes are 4 in
Could you use this indoors? Cut the chimney add a 2 or 3 layer through wall pipe ... really no different then a wood burner all panels get hot ??
I'm no expert. I'm sure you could probably be a little bit more dangerous.. lol
How much smoke does it put out? Looking to put in under my screen porch but don’t want to get smoked out
The smoke is pretty minimal depending on the pellets you get of course.. when it goes out or stops feeding and then relights it does tend to smoke pretty good
Looking hot 🔥
Especially when you touch it 🍻
How quickly does this run through the hopper on high? We're considering this for an outdoor rink and want to keep staffing the fire down. Thanks!
I think on high it'll run for 3 or 4 hours. That's honestly, usually the only way I run it low works but big fire is more fun lol
How do you turn it off or does it have to burn out
There's a flap in the pellet Hopper. Push that down. After that it'll take about 10 minutes to burn out

Just to confirm…the pellet hopper…does it require electricity?
No at all 0 electricity 🍻

A grill mat or some large patio bricks would definitely be an easy precaution

Chiminea 🍻
I returned my chimnea because it did not put out the same heat as the original model of these.

Does it smoke in your garage? Did you pipe outside?
@@chadbrailer643I'm thinking of the same thing for an insulated shed. Please let me know how it work for you
Just curious as I just purchased one if you ended up trying fire bricks in it or if you've found any other way to get some more heat out of it. Thanks.
I’d also like to know
Just checking why you say it's only $200. Tractor Supply shows it for $399.99
They have three models of heater. Make sure you're looking at the right one 🍻
I just ordered it. The one for $199 had to be shipped. Not sure if it's in any of the stores...it isn't around here at least. The one in the stores around here is $399.
I got it for $199 at tractor supply
Thats our more updated model I just bought the same one in the video for $125
