Essential · Pamapic Pyramid
This 48,000 BTU propane heater sends heat 360 degrees around it and can warm a 15-foot diameter, or 225 square feet. A clear glass tube shows the flame, and a dial adjusts the heat. It shuts off if tipped and comes with wheels and a cover. Expect to need a step stool to build its upper sections.
Pro: A propane pyramid heater that warms all around within about 10 minutes.
Con: At 61 pounds it is hard to roll around, even with wheels.

Absolute · Solo Stove
This 6.5-foot tower burns wood pellets, giving off 72,000 BTUs without gas or electricity. A gravity-fed hopper holds 25 pounds of pellets for up to 3 hours without refueling. Its burner sits near the ground, so heat comes from about knee height up. It takes 30 to 45 minutes to reach full heat, and its sides get dangerously hot.
Pro: 72,000 BTUs of heat across more than 300 square feet, versus 48,000 and 225.
Con: At 104 pounds with no wheels, it is hard to move around.
