After a Year of using this Flame Pro Pellet Patio Heater. I thought I would go over a few things I have experienced during my use of this. #flamepro #pellet_burner #pelletheater
FYI - I get about 10 hours per 50 pound bag of pellets with the hopper slide wide open. 50 pound bags of pellets cost about $5 where we live in California.
It burns very similar to a pellet grill. It burns very clean and little smoke. The only time I have smoke is when I close the slide and starve the fire or I didn’t have the slide open enough to feed the pellets into the burning chamber.
@@GregRocheleau thanks for the quick reply. I'm trying to decide between natural gas, pellet, or just an old fashioned fire pot. I want some real heat.
If you are under cover you risk both radiant convection that could lead to a roof fire and carbon monoxide death from asphyxiation! This is a terrible idea, unless you have a death wish.
Really appreciate the review, just bought one at Costco today.
Appreciate the great review! Just picked one up at Costco for $249USD. Cheers
Fantastic!! ThankYou. You’re living the dream.
@@smokeysmith1282 Thank you my friend

@@IanDenchasy Great information. Thanks for sharing.
Oh man That's a nice addition to any patio
I love this patio pellet heater. I want one!
@@Trumpetmaster77 This has been a nice addition.
I'd vote for this guy. Js.
That thing is nice. I want one of them.
Great video 👍🏼👍🏼
Can you adjust the flame intensity and extend burn time?
@@johnfatorich3494 Yes, you can adjust the travel of the slide gate that will reduce the flow of pellets to the burn chamber.
Thanks for the review. Does the heater radiate heat outwards 360 degrees? What would you say the heat pattern is?
@@jamespritchett6347 You can only feel it in front of the glass. Nothing from the sides or behind.
Can you leave the glass open for more heat output?
Yes
Do you know where I can get a copy of the owners manual? Where is the part number and serial number located?
@@stevejeremy8028 I will check around and get back to you.
Can you make the flume shorter?
Basically taking the middle stave of the flume out and make it shorter?
Is that possible?
I’m sure you can do that
I sold a few hundred pellet stoves,just presoke a glass jar of pellets with denatured alcohol, they light safely and easy.
@@RussellZile Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
What was it to get it started??? Name please?
@@menom1305 I use these instant fire starters.
charmandwick.com/collections/instant-fire
I have one and just put in one page of crumpled newspaper, and it lights right up.
@ That sounds easy. Thanks for sharing.
Thats a cool patio heater. With a flame like you show in the video, how long would a 50lb bag of the heater pellets last?
@@JDsBBQnBourbon probably a good 10 hours or more. I don’t think I have ever had it lit longer than 4 hours.
Great review! What cover did you end up purchasing to replace the non-waterproof version that came with it?
I currently don't have a cover for it
Do you get soot under your gazebo’s ceiling?
No I don't
Does it have a smell when it burns? Not allowed fire pits where I live.
It burns very similar to a pellet grill. It burns very clean and little smoke. The only time I have smoke is when I close the slide and starve the fire or I didn’t have the slide open enough to feed the pellets into the burning chamber.
Not sure I caught it, but what is the brand/name of the pellets you used? Looking for a cheaper alternative; Thanks
@@ryans8541 I use these pellets. Canawick Long Burning Hardwood Pellets, 8700 BTUs/lbs, 40-lbs.
does it ever try to burn up the hopper?
That has never happened to me.
@@GregRocheleau thanks for the quick reply. I'm trying to decide between natural gas, pellet, or just an old fashioned fire pot. I want some real heat.
@ I believe natural gas will give you better heat and you will be a better neighbor.
Does it put out a lot of smoke if you have it under a patio cover? Do you know how tall it is? Great review.
It burns pretty clean, not much smoke. Stands at 82 inches tall.

@ Thanks for the information
so how long does it last
@@MrRadiodio I burn through about a half hopper in 4 hours
I like the flame , but heat output is not what I expected
@@mickeycruz912 You are right, there is not a lot of heat.
Great no price
Costco has it on sale 199.00
$250 Costco
