What he said. Infrared propagation is unaffected by wind or temperature.
When did they start harnessing light sabers to use for heating sources?I’ve always been a big fan of anything infrared radiant that heats objects around the heater, over forced air. Not sure what options you’ll have with electric over there though.
I am unfamiliar with this. Is this only over a short distance?
Due to the inverse square law and depending on the strength of the source, yes. However it’s the best way to heat an area that is open to drafts or the outside, which is why it’s the preferred type to use for livestock and in barns for example. That’s because of the three types of heat transfer — conduction, convection, and radiation — only radiation is not affected by wind movements and ambient temperature.
Wimp.Now that I am smoking outdoors again in a chillier climate, I’m in need of an outdoor space heater. Preferably electric. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Wimp.

Had breakfast outside in London this am with these guys going. Was about 44° and I was very comfortable, almost too warm. They are all 240v. All the objects in the vicinity like the silverware, tables, and chairs were warm when we sat down.

RIPFernando, I'm sad to say Nick is no longer with us. He froze to death waiting on a common sense suggestion to his problem. I truly wish you were around in 2019 when he was in need. Thanks for the advise though. I know a fella named Hayden who has to smoke outside, so maybe he'll be able to find a heating unit at his local hardware store.
Enjoy the day and welcome to CP.

I’m not old enough to understand what a “classic heater” would look like. Only a modern heater… Instructions unclear. Please specify. Getting coldFernando, I'm sad to say Nick is no longer with us.
