What the Outdoor Heating Range Covers

The Outdoor Heating collection spans a broader set of products than the name alone suggests, covering open-flame fire pits, charcoal and gas BBQ smokers, freestanding gas patio heaters and wall-mounted electric strip heaters. Fire pit and BBQ combo products are well represented in the range, with a number of options that serve as both a heat source and a cooking surface, suited to backyard gatherings and casual outdoor setups. Gas patio heaters, including tower-style freestanding units, are designed for larger open-air entertaining areas where broad warmth across a seating group is the priority. Electric strip and radiant heaters suit covered patios and alfresco areas where a power point is within reach and directed heat to a defined zone is the goal. For designs suited to use away from home, our portable fire pits range covers lightweight options designed for camping and travel.

Gas, Electric and Open Flame: Choosing Your Outdoor Heat Source

Choosing between gas, electric and flame-based outdoor heating comes down to the space you have, the warmth you prefer, and how much flexibility you need. Gas patio heaters suit larger open spaces where no power point is available, providing ambient warmth across a wider area from a single freestanding unit. Electric strip heaters work well in covered patios where a power point is within reach, delivering targeted radiant heat to a defined seating zone without the need for fuel or gas. Open-flame products, including fire pits and BBQ combos, offer warmth alongside ambience and cooking capability, making them better suited to relaxed social setups where atmosphere is part of the appeal. For a broader view of the outdoor heating and entertainment category, the BBQs, firepits and heating collection and our heaters range are useful starting points.

Sizing, Placement and What to Check Before Buying

Before buying, consider the size of the area you want to warm, how sheltered the space is, and whether a fixed or portable product suits your setup. For gas patio heaters, confirm the gas bottle connection type and allow generous clearance on all sides from furniture, overhead structures, and anything flammable. For electric strip heaters, confirm a suitable power point is within reach of the intended installation height and check the rated output against the floor area you need to cover. Fire pit and BBQ combo products need a stable, non-flammable surface and should always be placed well away from fencing, dry grass, and overhanging branches. For those also looking at enclosed or sheltered heating options, our fireplaces and stoves range covers electric and gas heater models suited to indoor use.

Using Outdoor Heating and Cooking Products Together

One advantage of this range is that many products serve double duty as both a heat source and a cooking platform. Fire pit and BBQ combo models let you cook over an open flame while guests gather around the warmth, making them a practical centrepiece for casual backyard entertaining. Charcoal smokers and portable gas BBQs extend that cooking capability while adding a social dimension to the outdoor setup throughout the year. For those who want both warmth and airflow in the same outdoor zone, combining a gas or electric heater with our fans range helps manage comfort across different seasons. To browse the full indoor and outdoor heating category in one place, the heating, cooling and air quality collection covers fans, air purifiers, portable heaters and cooling appliances alongside outdoor products.

Should you choose a fire pit, patio heater, or electric strip heater for your outdoor area?

Choose a fire pit when the goal is ambience and a social centrepiece for backyard seating. A patio heater suits open entertaining areas where you want standing warmth, including gas styles like 13.5 kW options. An electric strip heater works well for covered patios, directing radiant heat where people sit.

Do you need gas or electric outdoor heating, and what power or fuel checks matter most?

Gas outdoor heating is handy when there is no nearby power point, but check you have space for the gas bottle and a safe place to store it. Electric outdoor heating needs an accessible outlet and enough wattage, with options shown around 1500W to 3000W. Confirm lead placement and where the heater will be positioned.

What size heater or fire pit suits your space, and what clearance should you allow around it?

Match heater size to the area people actually use, not the full yard. Freestanding patio heaters need a clear circle for foot traffic and chairs, while strip heaters suit seating zones under cover. Fire pits need extra space for sparks and airflow, so keep furniture back and allow a generous buffer on all sides.

What safety and placement checks should you confirm, such as stability, heat direction, and weather exposure?

Prioritise a stable base for patio heaters and keep outdoor heating on a level surface so movement is less likely. Check heat direction for strip heaters so warmth faces seating, not walkways. Fire pits should sit away from fences and low branches. For weather exposure, choose sheltered placement and store portable items when not in use.
