Silver stainless steel wraps the base of this 35 inch tabletop pyramid heater, with a clear glass tube running up the center so the flame becomes part of the view. Heat output is 9500 BTU spread over a 4.5 sq ft area in a full 360 degree pattern, which suits a bistro table or a small deck. The knob-and-igniter sequence starts it: hold at pilot for two minutes to clear the gas line, press to ignite, hold three more seconds, then adjust the flame from high to low. It takes one AA battery and a 1.02 lb propane canister, neither included. The footprint is 10 by 10 inches and it weighs 11 lbs, with tip-over and flameout protection built into the base.
