Patio heater brings some heat to the backyard

Washington Post

Brrr. Your back yard is beautifully furnished, but it’s freezing out there in the evening. A new product provides an alternative to warming your hands by the fire pit or using one of those industrial mushroom-shaped patio heaters: The Endless Summer electric patio heater is disguised as a decorative lamp.

The heaters, available in floor or table size, give off a 12-foot circle of warmth using radiant-heat technology. They are weather-resistant and turn off automatically if tilted. Finishes include cherry wood, bronze and ivory.
