Winter outside heater recommendations?

Girlfriend and I put electric one on either side of us (one round, one vertical) and works pretty good. Round one is better heater and oscillates. Howver, the light coming off the reflector is REALLY bright. PITA sometimes when pointed right at you.

Was seriously considering a tabletop kerosene umbrella-type patio heater for this winter, though. Saw one the other day for $60.

Threadjack alert...... Anyone know if you can change the 'input' to take large grill-size bottles instead of the little camp-stove style?

Just search for one that is built to connect to a propane tank. I use a round one that connects to a propane tank. Works really well in an enclosed area.

Yes you can... heres an adapter, hook it up and viola, runs on a full tank... that was actually my suggestion table top propane and the hose... works great!

I like the contractor style propane heater, I use them off of a 20lb tank, lasts a while
