Do you have an awesome outdoor space heater you can recommend?

Dec 9, 2012 2:54 AM

Hi everyone. I do some part-time work for a local university's softball team. We kick off the season in early February, and usually that means Atlanta's first snow of winter. Since we don't have a press box, I'm out in the elements for about 8 hours a pop.

I have a decent space heater that I got during a Wootoff about 3 years ago, but I'm wondering if it's time to upgrade.

So let me know if you have used a heater outdoors that kept your toesies nice and toasty. Prefer electric but no opposed to other types (propane?).

Thanks!

My feet are very disappointed in all of you.

I would bring an electric heated throw. When I have needed an outdoor heater I haven't generally had access to electricity. So on my deck I have one of those fire pits, and it does a good job of heating everything downwind of it. When I have an art booth in the chilly outdoors I use a propane heater, and it keeps the parts of me close to it warm but not the parts away from it. The problem with being outdoors is that no device is up to heating the whole planet (although the sun does a bang-up job). If you want to use a heater, having a backstop for the heat is actually more important than the heat generator itself. So, bring a blanket to put on the back of your chair. Bring a gel kitchen mat (or at least a folded up towel) to insulate your feet from the ground.

I have some of these for vending outdoors:

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
