Del Mar homes are are situated along the beautiful Pacific Ocean coast and many afford wonderful views of the ocean.  Owning a home here means spending long evenings sitting on your patio watching fantastic sunsets and enjoying the evening views of the moon lighted waters. However, the winter evenings can get quite chilly.  To help you enjoy these evenings I recommended buying a patio heater.  These units typically use propane for fuel just like your grill and provide the warmth needed to enjoy your priceless views year around.  There are two common types of patio heaters:

1.  The full free standing model

These heaters are generally 5-6 feet tall and warm an area of approximately 25 feet in diameter.

2. The table top model

The table top model generally is inserted in the opening for the umbrella in you patio table and provides comforting warmth over a 3-4 meter radius.

The Mini Tech 'Infra Red' Table Patio Heater clamps to your tabletop and emits a 3-4 meter radius of heater. Perfect for outdoor dining in the winter months.

The heater runs on a bottle of propane and isn't supposed to waste any of that gas when converting it to heat. You get about 100 hours of running time using a standard bottle of propapane.
