This is a product that has a look inspired by a pagoda, and the flame that passes through the ceramic column also allows the heater to serve as a lamp. The ceramic column is protected by metal wires to avoid burning accidents.
The LPG tank is stored at the base of the lamp, and it serves as a stabilizer to the already balanced base of the lamp. The switches are found behind the retractable door for discreetness and the elegant look of the heater.
This product generates heat over a wide area and is not hard to place. For patios with a low ceiling, the heater can still be used because the top of the heater has a metal hood that keeps the heat from rising. This is a product that is appropriate to use in both high and low clearances.

Disadvantages
The product looks good but the heat generation is not enough for certain climates. A heat of 38,000 BTUs is not accurately achieved and may be due to faulty controls.
The heater must be placed next to the user for the proper heating to be felt. The radius for heat is only limited to 15’. Some units were only good for a couple of months. Customer service is poor and unhelpful when it comes to parts replacement.
Verdict
The Thermo Tiki Deluxe Propane Outdoor Patio Heater looks good and adds elegance and a cozy atmosphere to an outdoor deck or patio.
The heat is adequate for a summer night but will not be warm enough for freezing winter days. For you to get the maximum heating experience, the unit must be placed next to the lounge area because the radius is only good for 15’.
