Product Description
This is an American Made wood pellet patio heater that will keep you warm from head to toe. The Big’ Timber is designed not only to produce radiant heat, but to provide a beautiful fire for family and friends to watch. Requiring no electricity, this heater’s flame is powered only by gravity and the draft created from the stove pipe. Using wood pellets as a low carbon alternative fuel just makes sense when compared to the high price and inefficiency of propane. Pellets run at a quarter of the operating cost, while producing twice the amount of BTU’s.

Why The Timberstoves Big Timber Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a larger patio heater, it's built with a bigger 20 lb. hopper and a single expansive 5" x 12.125" viewing window, giving homeowners both longer burn times between refills and a more dramatic view of the fire, alongside 90,000 BTU of heat output covering a 12 ft. radius.
The WPPHBTSS1.0 specifically addresses the needs of homeowners hosting larger outdoor gatherings who need more heat coverage and longer burn times than the smaller Lil' Timber provides.
More Heat, Longer Burn Times, Bigger Fire View. With a 90,000 BTU output covering a 12 ft. radius and a 20 lb. hopper providing roughly 2 hours of burn time per fill, this heater keeps larger groups warmer for longer, all while the expansive 5" x 12.125" glass panel delivers a more dramatic view of the actual flame.
Built For Genuine Fire Ambiance And Warmth
The expansive 5" x 12.125" glass panel provides a wide view of the actual fire for everyone gathered around
90,000 BTU of output delivers serious radiant heat across a 12 ft. maximum heating radius
The damper dial allows temperature control, raising or lowering heat output by 250 degrees
Engineered For Portable, Low-Maintenance Operation
Non-electric operation means the flame runs purely on gravity and stove pipe draft, no power cord or outlet needed
The 20 lb. hopper provides about 2 hours of burn time and can be refilled during operation
An easy shut-off key lets you stop or start the heater at any time
Real Savings
Wood pellet fuel runs at a quarter of the operating cost of propane while producing twice the BTU output
The larger hopper reduces the frequency of refills during extended outdoor gatherings
100% stainless steel construction, except the firepot, resists corrosion for long-term outdoor durability
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Homeowners hosting larger outdoor gatherings who want maximum heat coverage and longer burn times between refills can't get that combination from the smaller Lil' Timber. The Big Timber is built with a 20 lb. hopper, 90,000 BTU of output, and an expansive glass viewing panel, so it delivers more heat, more fire ambiance, and less frequent refilling. For anyone regularly hosting larger groups on the patio, this is the heater built to keep everyone warm longer.
