Note 2: With the Piezo-electric ignition system, all it takes to light the heater is a simple push of the button. Note that the Piezo ignition system requires an-AAA battery.
Note 3:
With both models, a large variable heat control knob allows for low or high heat settings and for turning the heater completely off at the end of the night.

.
Note 4: For enhanced safety and peace of mind, both patio heaters considered here feature an automatic shut-off tilt-valve that turns the heater off automatically if it gets tipped over.
Note 5: Both models come with 3 brackets attached to the bottom of the heater. Each bracket has a hole that allows you to screw it to the floor and that will secure it.
Note however that once you put the propane tank inside the heater, the heater becomes fairly heavy and stable, and you may not even need to screw the brackets to the floor for stability, unless of course you live somowhere where strong winds are common.
