SunStar PHJ Portable Propane Patio Heater Features

  • No Electricity Needed: Runs entirely on a standard 20 lb propane cylinder with a matchless piezo ignition. Set it anywhere on the patio without running a cord.
  • Built In Safety: UL listed with a flame failure safety device as standard, plus a weighted base that helps prevent tip over.
  • Wheel Kit Included: Roll the heater to where people are sitting, and out of the way for storage at the end of the season.
  • Cup Holders In The Base: Four cup holders built into the base, each holding up to a 32 oz cup, so guests have somewhere to set drinks.
  • Black And Silver Texturized Finish: A sleek black and silver texturized painted finish that suits most outdoor furniture and hides fingerprints and scuffs.
