outdoor pellet heater

[midwest noobie]

hello

been curiuos to see if anyone has vamped up a patio pellet heater to work indoors.Some look really nice and ive cehcked sme ut and with a door gasket, a damper on the flue and connecting it to a chimney, it would seem these units could pssibly be used indoors. non electric gravity fed.

I am pndering buying one from tractor supply which is built pretty good from what i see, but havent been able to inspect one up close.

door gasket, flue damper, caulking around the seams and crakcs and such?

has anyone thought about this

I've been wondering the same thing. Heat up the garage real quick!

I was curious since they put out some heat. and if connected to a good chimney with clearances and such in the house with a properly connected flue to the heater, and a gasket on the door since it doesnt look like it has one, im betting this would be a very low cost non electric pellet heater for the home. I have a double ply stainless steel liner ,smooth walled, and wrapped with 2400 deg ceramic wrap.

So it would have to burn thru the liner and the wrap t d any damage. HA.ne thru tractr supply there is 2 variations. one sells for 199 and the other one looks more hefty and it sells for around 250 to 300.

If it can used in semi open areas i bet we could caulk the seams, where the flue would connect, add a door gasket and put a damper in the flue to control the heat alittle bit.

Hey there. I run marketing for a startup called Patiofyre that invented what we think is the warmest patio heater on the market. The way it's built gives off full-body heat, not just at your head or feet. A full hopper of pellets burns two hours. And it looks really cool. Would love to get feedback from this community on our product!

You might want to check out a diesel heater if it's for a shed or garage. Otherwise, you can't put anything in the house to heat that cannot be approved by your insurance company

im thinking about the one tractor supply sells. looks well built and not worried about what the insurance company says.the patio heater looks like its an all metal body and the door doesnt look like it has a gasket. the top flue exit looks like it it was caulked and had regular flue pipe added, it would connect right up to my stainless steel double ply smooth wall chimney liner

When you say indoors that means to me you need to be concerned about safely venting the fumes with a chimney system. If you are not worried about insurance, and can do it yourself, you will save thousands if you can get something working. Can you send a link to what you have in mind? You call it a patio pellet heater?

Other than a extreme fire hazard and if something ever happened you homeowners insurance would be void. One you would have to find a chimney that could handle direct heat as pellets stoves to not have flame going direct into the chimney while they can probably handle it not something i would be willing to test with my life and my home, if it does not seal properly you would be filling your home with carbon and by the time you ever realized it you would be passed out on the floor.

Can't you just get a cheap pellet stove and be done with it? If you do it yourself it will only be the cost of the stove?

Even embers or a wiseway?
