Outdoor Heating — Propane Heaters for Camping, Garages & Outdoor Spaces

October in Ontario. The campfire's out, it's 3°C, and everyone's retreated to their chairs in silence. A propane heater changes that dynamic completely — suddenly the patio or campsite is usable for another two hours.

That's the practical case for outdoor heating. The question is which type fits your situation.

For camping and general outdoor use, the Camplux 6,000–18,000 BTU adjustable heater is the most flexible option — three heat settings, connects to a standard 1lb propane canister or a larger tank with an adapter, and light enough to carry to a campsite. The 15,000 BTU framed handle model is similar in output but has a more stable base for stationary use around a patio or deck.

For infrared heating — which heats objects and people directly rather than the air — the 15,000 BTU infrared heater is noticeably more efficient in open or windy conditions. Worth considering if you're heating a covered patio where air circulation is an issue.

For garages, job sites, and hunting camps where you need serious output, the tank-top heaters are the right call. The 15,000 BTU single-burner tank-top mounts directly on a standard 20lb propane tank — no hose, no separate stand. The 30,000 BTU double-burner version doubles the output for larger spaces. Both include a tip-over safety switch.

Looking for something more permanent for an outdoor entertaining area? The Fire Pits collection has propane fire pit tables that double as patio furniture.
