Why Choose Wood Pellets Over Propane?

Wood pellets deliver superior value and performance compared to traditional propane patio heaters. Operating at just 25% of propane's cost, pellets produce double the BTU output per dollar spent. As a low-carbon renewable fuel source made from compressed sawdust, wood pellets burn cleaner than traditional wood while producing minimal smoke—creating a more pleasant environment for you and your guests.

The Lil' Timber's efficient gravity-fed design eliminates the need for electricity, fans, or ignition systems, making it one of the most reliable and maintenance-free outdoor heating solutions available. Simply fill the hopper, light with a match, and enjoy hours of warmth and ambiance.

Operation & Maintenance

Starting Your Heater: Fill the hopper with high-quality wood pellets (8,000+ BTU/lb rating recommended). Add 1-2 tablespoons of gel hand sanitizer or fire starter over the pellets. Light with a long match or barbecue lighter. Adjust the damper to control flame intensity and heat output.

Refueling During Use: The 12.5 lb hopper can be safely refilled while the heater is operating, allowing for extended use without interruption.

Shutting Down: Insert the shutoff key in the horizontal slot at the hopper base. Open the damper fully. The fire will safely extinguish itself once all fuel in the stove burns completely.

Regular Maintenance: Wipe glass panels with a damp rag when cool. Scrape between fire pot bars when airflow becomes restricted. Empty ash pan every 4-5 uses when unit is completely cool. Ensure spark arrestor mesh remains clear of debris for optimal performance.

Safety Information

• Deck installation: Always use a heat-resistant pad when placing on wood or composite decking.
  
• Small children and pets: Consider optional Elite Safety Cage (sold separately) to prevent accidental contact with hot surfaces.
