Sunglo 50,000 BTU Natural Gas Portable Post-Mount Patio Heater - Black
| The Sunglo A242 combines the full 50,000 BTU power and economy of a natural gas patio heater with the flexibility of a portable design. Unlike the permanent-mount PSA265, the A242 features a freestanding weighted base that lets you move, reposition, or remove the heater as your patio layout changes throughout the season. An optional 12-foot hose kit with quick-connect coupling allows fast setup and takedown while the optional floor clamp kit secures the heater to the deck when a fixed position is preferred. The signature deep dish aluminum reflector broadcasts infrared radiant heat over a 12-15 foot diameter area, warming people and objects directly without heating the surrounding air. The manually operated pilot-thermocouple ignition system requires no electrical power, making this heater reliable even during power outages. Black powder-coated construction stands up to the outdoor environment. Made in the USA since 1961 with complete lifetime parts availability. |

The Sunglo Advantage
| Since 1961, Sunglo has been the original and industry-leading name in outdoor radiant heating. While many competitors have come and gone, Sunglo heaters remain the preferred choice at world-class resorts, hotels, restaurants, and homes for several reasons that set them apart: True Infrared Radiant Heat: Sunglo heaters work like the sun, warming people and objects directly rather than heating the surrounding air. This means instant warmth the moment you turn on the heater, with no wasted energy heating empty space. Deep Dish Aluminum Reflector: The one-piece deep dish reflector is the heart of every Sunglo heater. This commercial-grade reflector broadcasts radiant heat over a 12-15 foot diameter coverage area, far exceeding the narrow cone of heat from typical mushroom-style patio heaters. Wind Resistant Design: Rated for winds up to 10 mph horizontal, Sunglo heaters stay lit in conditions that shut down standard patio heaters. The infrared heating technology is inherently less affected by wind because it heats objects directly, not the air. Commercial-Grade Construction: Heavy-duty corrosion-resistant materials throughout. Stainless steel models use 304-grade stainless steel. The primary aerated burner operates quietly while delivering maximum BTU output. Lifetime Parts Availability: Unlike imported heaters that become disposable when parts fail, Sunglo maintains complete parts availability and support for every model they have ever manufactured. Your Sunglo heater is a long-term investment, not a throwaway. Made in the USA: Every Sunglo heater is proudly designed and manufactured in the United States, ensuring strict quality control, CSA certification, and consistent performance. |

Estimated Delivery Time
Post shipment, anticipate your items within a timeframe of 3-5 business days. We utilize UPS and FedEx for smaller items. It's crucial to note that more substantial items and certain orders are dispatched via freight. Freight shipping is somewhat more intricate compared to regular parcel deliveries, hence understanding the process in advance ensures a smooth delivery experience.
Freight Shipment Specifics
The majority of freight items are shipped on pallets. Some delivery companies will reach out to fix a delivery slot, whereas others aim to drop off your order at the most accessible spot nearest to your home, preferably close to a garage. The shipping confirmation email will detail the specific delivery procedures to anticipate.
For Scheduled Delivery
Companies that arrange delivery slots necessitate your presence for the delivery and your signature for confirmation. Deliveries are made using a semi-truck with lift gate service, placing the shipment by the curb. Should you grant permission for the delivery to be left unsupervised, BBQ Kitchen Pros cannot assume responsibility for any ensuing damages. The process might seem daunting, but for a comprehensive understanding, we recommend you peruse our thorough freight delivery guide to prevent unforeseen challenges.
For Non-Scheduled Deliveries
Delivery services that don't operate on appointments don't mandate your presence or a scheduled delivery slot. There's also no signature required upon receipt. Without the hassle of scheduling or waiting around, let the delivery come to you. If you're home during the drop-off, the driver can be asked to place your items in the garage. If you're away, they'll position it close to the garage or main entry.
