Just picked the Big Timber heater up yesterday, came home put it together, and had a lovely, warm evening on our patio! We have had other patio heaters, but it was always a challenge to stay warm with the other products; this one puts out some serious heat, and you get the ambience of a fire without all of the smoke. The Big Timber is a very high quality, truly amazing product!

The big timber is the best purchase I have made in along time. I love this stove and am addicted to it. I live in the Seattle area where we obviously get a lot of rain. Was looking for an alternative to our fire pit during the winter months and was introduced to this product while visiting at my brothers. Was a little hesitant at the price but now that I have one it’s worth every penny. Still can’t believe the amount of heat it puts out using golden fire pellets. Easily heats my patio area even on the coldest of nights. The maintenance and clean-up are a bonus and easy to do. Very well made product that my whole family enjoys and perfect example of “Made in the USA” being far superior to any similar product. I would recommend (and have) this stove to all family and friends.

Soooo happy with my new big timber heater. Super well designed and built. Night and day better than any sort of typical gas patio heater. I kinda wish I had forgone the fire pit I installed at 5x the price of the big timber. The big timber is even more pleasant to sit around, and it actually keeps everyone warm as opposed to a fire pit that sends all the heat straight up. Even when not in use, it’s such an attractive visual focal point for our patio that we’ve arranged the furniture around it. Buy a cover with it! You’ll want to protect it from the elements. The griddle also is super cool, so well designed and built that the price is actually a bargain if you will use it frequently.

The Big Timber Heater is without a doubt my favorite purchase of 2020.
My fiancé and I purchased our first home December 2019. I grew up with a woodstove which I loved and very much wanted with my new home; options were limited however, so it was something we had to do without. To supplement, I had been looking for an outdoor deck heating solution and only by chance a friend passed along a link to this product. In all honesty, I was put off by the price but was very much intrigued by the BTU rating and unique design, so I researched reviews and looked to see if there were similar products on the market. Any review I found was glowing (pun intended, why not?…) and competition seems to be limited to one other product which pales in comparison. I took the plunge.
To follow suit with Raj’s review above:
Ordering/Delivery:
As with any conscientious shopper, I took some time to see what options were out there. I found the product had been available through several retailers, Amazon included, but stock was depleted everywhere (high demand due to State COVID regulations) so the best option was directly through Wood Pellet Products’ website. A few reviews allude to a lower listed price years passed, which was likely adjusted to match recent demand, or maybe it came up due to revisions and more expensive parts; in any case, I was happy the owner held a Black Friday sale which I was lucky enough to take advantage of. The process was akin to any online order, very straight forward, no complaints. The product description mentioned a 4-6 week lead time due to demand. My order was placed Nov. 27, so I expected it after the New Year; it shipped in two weeks and made its way via FedEx across the country (OR to MA) in seven days. The box was about 70lbs, smaller than I expected and easy enough to move around. Upon opening I found the parts arrangement was well thought out to save space.
Assembly:
I’d recommend first unpacking everything and removing the protective plastic or packaging. Dump the screws/hardware somewhere safe and sort into individual groups. This will make the rest of the process much easier. Take the time to follow the directions and only use the online video as a support. It took me about 45 minutes, but that was reading every direction twice as not to miss anything. If I had to repeat the process, I’d anticipate it’d take 25 minutes or less. Unlike a few other reviews, all the parts lined up perfectly without the need to pry or bend. One thing I wish I knew during assembly and STRONGLY recommend for anyone – use gloves when assembling and handling the stove pipe. The oils from my hands has burnt and caked onto it leaving handprints and smudges which I have yet been able to find a way to clean off. This is only cosmetic, but an annoyance none the less.
Product Quality/Efficiency:
Being used to woodstoves, I was surprised with how much heat a small pellet-fueled unit like this can put out. I’m fairly certain it’d be too hot to run full-tilt in an average-sized home.
We did the initial burn-in to let the paint cure – about 10lbs of pellets, the paint smoked a bit (don’t inhale that by the way) and then the unit has been basically smoke-free since. The first real night of operation was quite cold, dropping from 40F to 20F. We kept it running for over 5 hours, chairs were arranged about how you’d seat a camp-fire (same distance), there was barely any maintenance required, zero smoke, and we were all quite warm – many times shifting to avoid burnt knees. Unlike propane heaters, most of the heat comes from the box itself, heating your feet, legs, and everything else especially if you stay close. I haven’t been able to use the unit in temperatures over 45F yet, so I’m not sure how much heat is reflected off the top heat spreader.
I’m still experimenting with pellets – so far I’ve timed one full hopper run with softwood pellets which lasted 1 hour 50 minutes. This was at 30F and the damper fully closed the entire time. Another soft/hardwood blend seems to burn hotter and slower, so heat/longevity will be attributed to pellet quality and how you adjust the damper. Despite not yet seeing the 3-4 hour runtime on a single hopper, I’m very happy filling it once every 2 hours for the heat it delivers. I have not experienced any clogging or burn-back; as long as the hopper is filled, the unit runs wonderfully, so great engineering!
During operation, the unit is beautiful. The three sided windows provide ample light to light up the deck and reflect off trees or neighboring houses.
The black paint has chipped or burnt off in a few places in only a 1 week’s time. Despite covering the unit as soon as it’s cool to shelter from the elements, it has already developed some rust. I plan to keep up with it, brush/grind and repaint as necessary as I very much enjoy this stove but it’s absolutely worth noting. It looks like an entirely stainless model might have been in development; I’d be very happy to purchase even just the box and replace every screw and component to ensure it lasts as long as possible.
Like I said before, this is my favorite purchase of 2020. It’s an amazing American-made product, and I hope to continue using it for many years to come!

LOVE this thing! I got my Big Timber last week and immediately put it together and did the burn-in. I did watch the YouTube assembly video and after that the build was very easy/intuitive. Since then we have used it almost every night and found that I could be on the couch outside in front of it without a jacket at all with temps in the the mid 40s. The thing is a beast – extremely well built, throws a TON of heat and it is literally the talk of my neighborhood. It totally transformed my outdoor space.
