Tyson is a true American entrepreneur, builds not only a safe stove, but great looking, sturdy and simple. Visited a friend, saw the stove, had to have one. Called and Tyson answered, took our order, and though a little slow in getting to us, love it. As a retired machinist, fabricator, welder, love the engineering, bolt symmetry, laser cut materials, and NO sharp edges. Now in the depth of winter where we live in the Upper Wenas valley, I still go out almost every day, drink one beer, observe the wildlife, and watch the sun go down. We had another patio heater that used wood, but the Lil’ Timber takes only about fifteen minutes to really warm up. A real enhancement to my life. Thanks Tyson
