Dimplex LI-1059-R00 DGR Series Outdoor Infrared Portable Propane Heater
Outdoor heating is becoming increasingly more popular and affordable with a variety of options.
This guide will help lead you through the different:
- Fuel Sources
- Styles
- Features
- Heat Ranges
to help you determine the ideal heater for your lifestyle and outdoor environment.
What type of fuel source is right for you?
Natural Gas
Natural gas heaters offer a more permanent solution for outdoor comfort
since they are hooked up to a gas line by a professional. The result is
maintenance-free, endless fuel supply.
Propane Gas
Propane gas heaters are portable, easy to install using a propane tank, and
require some maintenance due to replacing the tank. They offer the most
flexibility.
Infrared Electric
Electric heaters are the fastest to heat up, come as plug-in and portable, or
fixed and hardwired and may require a professional to intall. They are the
most environmentally friendly with zero-emissions.
Hanging or Suspended Outdoor Heaters
Hanging or suspended heaters are often installed from ceilings and designed for areas with limited space. They are great for covered porches, patios, gazebos or workshops. Often they are electrically powered and can be controlled with a thermostat.
Mounted Outdoor Heaters
Likely the most common style for outdoor heaters, and most versatile for fuel sources offering natural gas or electric options. While install requires a professional, the heat output is greater, and often has more options for comfort with variable heat. Look for models with auto-shutoff for safety.
Portable Outdoor Heaters
Portable or free standing heaters are often propane or electric sourced. Often, they will hide the propane tank and are excellent for moving between multiple entertaining spaces. Look for models with wheels and safety straps to make mobility easier.

To keep our family and guests safe, look for these minimum features in your outdoor heater:
- Auto-timer shutoff or auto-safety shutoff

- Tip-over switch on portable models
Some convenient features:
