Who smokes no matter how hot it is outside? NY is in another heat wave but I can be sitting out there baking and smoking. Cold weather is tough but hot doesn’t bother me. My wife thinks I’m nuts.

Inside temps weren't enough to obsess about?

I live in AZ and I smoke outside no matter the temp. I usually smoke after 9PM, but in the summer it may still be 100+ then. In the winter, it may be in the high 40's to low 50's so I have a patio heater to stay warm.

I'm seriously thinking about getting a patio heater so that I can smoke outside this year. I don't know anything about them. Propane? How long does a tank last?

I like the heat. And much prefer smoking outside if possible.

You should get one, they're great. I have the type that stands about 7 feet tall with a base that houses a gas grill propane tank and a top that looks like one of those flying saucer sleds turned upside down. I use mine all year long but mostly in the winter. I can sit outside toasty warm with no coat even in the coldest New England winters. Mostly I just park it near the grill and it melts everything around it and keeps me warm grilling. My basement workshop is my cigar lounge, I have a walkout and a bunch of windows.

I have the tall propane one with the ufo on top. I find it doesn’t really do much. Maybe because I’m sitting down and the heat source is up high? I’m going to get the propane tank mounted heat lamp they sell at Home Depot and just point it at me in the winter. It’s low enough to be directly in my face

So on damn near 0° day one of those is enough to keep one comfortable outside?
I don't mind the cold and can tolerate pretty low, but im not opposed to a little comfort.
