Patio-heater BTU planner
Hosts heating an outdoor dining area. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: translate seating area into a patio-heater class. Fit and capacity are the expensive mistakes. Settle those before you commit to a finish or a brand.
This page produces an explainable category or size so options can be compared without a product ranking. The calculator does not rank Fire Sense, Bromic, and Amazon. It produces an explainable class so Fire Sense 48,000 BTU, Bromic Tungsten Smart-Heat, and Amazon Basics 46,000 BTU can be compared as examples of that class.
The working method is: Convert the inputs into a published planning class using the method on this page, then compare official product pages that match that class. Planning notes are grounded in U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This page does not quote a price or rank a brand.
