Overview
The Bromic Tungsten Smart-Heat Freestanding is a modern alternative to the classic mushroom patio heater. Instead of sending heat up into the air, its high-intensity ceramic burners aim radiant heat toward the people in front of it, which Bromic says makes it up to three times more efficient than traditional portable heaters.
Built-in wheels let you move it between the dining table, the lounge area and the pool deck, and the propane version runs on a propane tank with no installation.
Where It Works Best
Because the heat is directional, place the heater facing the seating area rather than in the middle of it. Bromic rates it for about 215 sq. ft. Heat area figures are Bromic's ratings in ideal, sheltered conditions. Wind, open sides and very cold nights reduce the area a heater can keep comfortable, so for large or exposed patios plan more than one heater.
Propane or Natural Gas?
The propane model (TNG-P) runs on a propane tank and can be moved freely. The natural gas model (TNG-N) connects to your home's gas supply, which means no tanks to refill but a fixed connection point installed by a qualified gas fitter.
