Best Outdoor Kitchen Heaters

  • Extend Your Outdoor Dining & Entertaining Season

    An outdoor kitchen is a huge investment, so you’ll naturally want to use it year-round. The seasons, however, might have other ideas — calling down weather conditions that would make most people retreat indoors, such as a bitter chill. Fortunately, there are options to extend the use of any outdoor kitchen; we just find patio heaters to be one of the easiest and most effective. Now, when purchasing a patio heater for your outdoor kitchen, the two most important things to consider are your preferred fuel type and the level of warming versatility you need. Fear not! The experts here at BBQGuys® have chosen the very best patio heaters in mounted and freestanding configurations while taking fuel type into account. We decided on the propane, natural gas, and electric outdoor heaters on this list based on the following factors:

    • Quality- When you buy any product, you want to make sure it’s made from sturdy material that won’t break down when you need it most. Patio heaters are no different: a faulty one will make it difficult to stay outside and enjoy your outdoor kitchen in chilly weather. That’s why we emphasize the quality and durability of these heaters so you’ll have one that’ll last for years to come.

    • Performance- A patio heater’s heating capabilities are one of the most important aspects to think about during the purchase process. For instance, the heat output of a portable patio heater doesn’t quite matter as much; it can always be moved to the area that needs warmth. On the other hand, a mounted patio heater needs to cover further ground because it’s a more permanent fixture.

    • Features- We chose patio heaters with the most user friendly control systems, optional mounting brackets for directional heating, and the ability to wire multiple heaters together for zone controlled heating.
