Anybody here have one (or more)? How well do these things work?

I am wondering if they really do heat up an area- how much heat and how big? Specifically, I am wondering if I can host Turkey Day outside in Northern VA, assuming temps in the 40s?

And most seem to run $200-$300. What do you get for the extra bucks?

I am considering getting one or two, and those new fiberglass see thru propane tanks.
 
From my experience with a couple past customers that had them they do work pretty good and I believe that some businesses that host outdoor events use them for events like weddings ect ect ect. If they make it and you can afford it the radiant heat style would be what I would go with.

Those fiberglass tanks are a bit pricey last time I saw them but they do create a conversation piece dont they.

Also, the fiberglass propane cylinders. WOW! I had no idea they were so expensive! Rethinking it.
