Know before you buy

The unit is designed to radiate heat in all directions, making it highly effective for circular seating arrangements. With an output of 80,000 BTUs, it provides significant warmth for a standard patio area, though effectiveness can vary based on wind conditions and ambient temperature.
Yes, the Fireside360 features a 'flame only' mode. This allows you to enjoy the visual appeal of the fire without the high-intensity heat output, which is ideal for milder evenings.
The setup is designed to be straightforward and typically takes less than 15 minutes. It involves connecting your propane tank and ensuring the unit is placed on a stable, level surface.
Because it uses propane rather than wood, it produces a virtually smokeless experience. You won't have to deal with popping embers, thick smoke clouds, or the soot buildup common with traditional fire pits.
The 'heat only' mode focuses on maximizing the unit's thermal output for warmth, while the 'combined' mode engages both the flame and the heating elements simultaneously. The combined mode is best for maximum comfort on particularly cold nights.
