Even Embers Pellet Chiminea Patio Heater

[@mikewired]

I bought this chininea and it works great! The fire is nicely viable from 3 sides and quiet. I also purchased the Even Embers older 3 sided glass tall pellet heater. The firebox is smaller with a great fire but it is a much busier fire, more active and roaring! There is also constant jet sound up the flue. Both put out great heat but the chiminea has an edge on the heat output and much better quiet relaxing fire!

I saw one of these for sale on Facebook for $250. Thanks for the great video. I'll think we'll get it.

[@jeffapp9770]

I RAN MINE ON low for about an hour then on high for 5 hrs. Still had enough pellets for about 2 hrs! I LOVE IT!

[@PortlyGentleman]

They are one hell of a way to warm up the backyard 🍻

[@rodrigob.6860]

What pellet brand did you use? I bought one and the pellets doesnt seem to fall by gravity

[@biggirlollie]

Love the ambience. Just checked Tractor Supply and it's on sale for $250...seems like a good value!

[@PortlyGentleman]

Absolutely! I wonder if @tractorsupply will give me that 50 bucks off? 😂🤣

[@urexpressionsphotography1082]

I havr this model, just brought it a week ago. Lit a fire in it for the 1st time yesterday. Loved it. My only complaint is that I was sitting 4 feet away and barely felt the seat at times. Maybe it was me. But overall, I love the look of the Fire at night and don't have to worry about Amber's flying and burning someone.

[@PortlyGentleman]

I definitely love mine. Did you have it in the high position for maximum fire? Like anything? It does take a few minutes for it to heat up. That's for damn sure.

[@CBKFL]

It's definitely an ambiance more than a "heater". Advertising seems a bit disingenuous when my $150 40K BTU propane patio heater puts out substantially more heat...

[@WeShootBack1776]

You can make it throw more heat by buying pellets with a higher btu rating, cheaper pellets don't throw heat , stay away from the cheap green/ clear bag that tractor supply sells

[@jamesjones680]

@@WeShootBack1776what brand pellets do you recommend?

[@misteraric]

I ran this one and my original one side by side and this one puts out way less heat than the original.

[@alanjohnson9245]

Well done review. I believe the BTU is accurate but you can't directly compare to the propane radiant heaters. All the heat on this one basically goes straight up. I might try a diffuse on top also. Very satisfied with mine.

[@PortlyGentleman]

Yes thank you 🍻

[@egallardo0294]

Any updates? Were you able to increase the radius? I'm looking at one right now but they reviews are back and forth. Is it worth it?

[@alanjohnson9245]

winter. It heats the area nicely. I have enough air leaks that carbon monoxide isn't an issue. Tried putting a​ large aluminum plate on top to see if it spreads the heat more when not tarped. Helps some I guess. Not gonna lie, the ambience is amazing without smelling like a campfire. On "high" it puts out a LOT of heat but mostly up. Sitting around it you need to be within 5-7 feet to feel it

[@elmomcrae5946]

I pick one up a week ago on sale for 250.00 I only wish chimney roof was wider to deflect more heat outward ran on high expected wider heat coverage.

[@PortlyGentleman]

Yeah I'm bummed there. I'm sorry right now for 250. It's a good deal I think. Definitely a wider top piece would definitely make sense. Maybe it was too heavy or it couldn't take wind or who knows what.

[@jasonb7089]

I agree. I found an 18" aluminum pizza pan on amazon for 20 bucks. im going to order one and set it on top of the existing cap and see if it helps. if it does i'll fasten it with a few stainless self tapping screws. its still an awesome product though.

[@CBKFL]

@@jasonb7089 Any improvement?

[@egallardo0294]

I'm looking at one right now how's the radius? I've been reading it's not that great.

[@papajoeknows8355]

Well done video 👍🏻

[@PortlyGentleman]

Thank you

[@chiane1968]

Nice video? How do pellet heaters smell? Do you get that nice smell of a wood fire?

[@PortlyGentleman]

Thank you very much. Not really. It actually Burns pretty clean. I don't notice much odor. That's me though.

[@pdiz]

My biggest assembly dilemma with this was "Do you put the 'caution' triangle logo in the front, in the back, definitely not the side... Most put it toward the rear where the hopper is... OCD will get you every time. I ended up putting it in the front as you have it, lol.

[@montefordham6425]

Great review

[@PortlyGentleman]

Thank you 🍻

[@bobbyfelker7921]

What is the radius of heating?

[@PortlyGentleman]

It's hard to say but I would say easily 15 to 20 ft

[@alanjohnson9245]

Truthfully maybe 5-7 feet even on high. Throws a LOT of heat out the top but not out to sides so much. Remember it's a glass enclosed flame, don't compare it to Infrared heaters.

[@johnanderson3474]

How hot is it up above the smoke stack? I am wondering if I can set it under a high porch roof?

[@PortlyGentleman]

It's definitely hot. As long as the cover is at least seven or eight feet, I would think you'd be okay unless of course the overhang is vinyl ...

[@markweidner8803]

I see you have this on a wood deck. Do you think a composite deck would be safe, or should you use something to protect the deck? Also, how long does it take to burn out once you stop feeding pellets?

[@PortlyGentleman]

I'm actually really comfortable with it on the deck. No issue and no noticeable heat below it. Obviously I could put something down. I just don't see the need. Having said that, I don't leave it running unattended. Once the flow of pellets from the hopper is turned off, probably takes about 15 minutes to burn down. If you really need it to go out quicker you can manually pull some of the pellets in with the tool provided. This will cause it to burn down rapidly.

[@soota6083]

Do you know how long the pellets last on high by any chance?

[@PortlyGentleman]

I've noticed some difference between pellet size. Smaller ones seem to feed a little more rapidly. Probably about 3 hours. 🍻

[@joelmancarella7216]

Have you had any issue with it sitting directly on the wood deck? How much heat conducts downward?

[@PortlyGentleman]

I've had zero issue. The heat is negligible that comes down from the bottom. The Gap is pretty significant. And I've run it for probably up to 6 hours at one time

[@joelmancarella7216]

Thank you! ​@@PortlyGentleman

[@PortlyGentleman]

@joelmancarella7216 🍻

[@beattyj8]

Was looking at this one as I have a pellet smoker/grill already and it's cheaper/easier/safer to stock extra pellets than propane tanks at least around here. My one concern is I have a Trex deck and I don't want to end up melting it if the fire gets too hot and the heat source is too low height-wise. If you end up reviewing the tall and skinny lamp-post model let us know! @tractorsupply send him one! :D

[@PortlyGentleman]

Hey thank you mine's obviously sitting on a nasty old redwood deck. I didn't notice it getting hot. They do sell small protector sheets or plates. If you will that you can put under something like this. That might be the ultimate safety precaution. I'll link one that I recently got amzn.to/47eIuy3

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

Now i want one…

[@PortlyGentleman]

Yes🍻🍻

[@charless.barcus8346]

Has anyone extended the chimney? Above 8ft past a roof line?

[@PortlyGentleman]

I've not seen this done. I would think you could do it though.

[@RogerThatImages]

They sell another Even Ember model at Tractor supply that has a taller flume. It might be easier to extend that one.

[@SunyaRogers]

How hot does it get above the chimney & how far above does the heat go?

[@PortlyGentleman]

It gets pretty hot. I wouldn't say that it gets crazy hot 5 ft above it though

[@brandybrooks5685]

Any issues with having it on your wood deck? I worry about it getting hot on the bottom

[@PortlyGentleman]

It hasn't gotten hot at all. It also doesn't drop burning embers on the bottom. I always clean the ash before use though.

[@brandybrooks5685]

@@PortlyGentleman Thanks! I appreciate the info!

[@melarliang]

what is the heat cover area of this itme?

[@PortlyGentleman]

That depends. I think if you're sitting it's probably about 8 ft 9 ft on high away from the heater. I found that pellets play a big role on this. You need to buy a decent quality ones.

[@papotelebron20]

I recently purchased the Even Embers wood pellet Chimney at Tractor Supply. For some reason the back latch that opens so that pellets fall keeps closing automatically extinguishing fire while we still using it. Any suggestions. Is there something Im missing?

[@alanjohnson9245]

Make sure it's actually hooked in place.

[@campergyrl8461]

Do you worry about it igniting your deck?

[@PortlyGentleman]

@@campergyrl8461 No issues yet but I am recommending a protector. See the description

[@kennypowers423]

Does it need electricity?

[@PortlyGentleman]

Not at all. It's completely gravity fed fully off grid

[@elmomcrae5946]

No it doesn't need electricity just wood fuel pellets

[@Adamantos-Elean]

could you use this in a garage?

[@PortlyGentleman]

I don't think I would. You definitely want to wait to vent
