How much area does 48,000 BTU heat?

In still air it warms a circle roughly 15 to 20 feet across, enough for a seating group. Wind cuts that range noticeably.

Does it come with a propane tank?

No. It runs on a standard 20 lb propane tank that you supply and set in the base, which also adds stability.

Does it have push-button ignition?

No. It lights manually, so you need a match or lighter at the burner.

Is it safe to use on a covered porch?

It is for outdoor use only. Keep it out from under low ceilings and away from walls and flammable items.

How hard is assembly?

Most owners put it together in under an hour with common hand tools. Two people help when lifting the post onto the base.

How does it compare with a pyramid-style heater?

It offers similar heat output in a taller, narrower frame. Pyramid models often include a wheel kit and a tip-over shutoff, which this one lacks.

Our take on the EDX 48,000 BTU Propane Patio Heater

The EDX is a freestanding outdoor patio heater that runs on propane and puts out 48,000 BTU, enough to take the edge off a patio, deck or open-air gathering on a cool evening. It has a stainless steel body in a brown finish and weighs about 31 lb, so one person can move it around a yard. It is a plain radiant-convection heater: no electric ignition, no NRTL safety listing and no written warranty, which puts it below brands like Amazon Basics or Fire Sense on paperwork and support. Owners rate it 4.4 out of 5 across 347 ratings, generally for heat output and easy setup.
