The EMBER Tower Patio Heater: Form Meets Function
Like the best works of architecture, the EMBER Tower was designed from the inside out — every element purposeful, nothing arbitrary. There's a nod to mid-century modern in its silhouette: that honest marriage of form and function that defined the era's most enduring designs. Where mushroom heaters squat and clutter a patio's sightlines, the EMBER Tower commands its space with intention — a slender column of warmth your guests stop noticing and simply start feeling. No plastics, no pretense. Just aluminum, stainless steel, and the quiet confidence of something built to last.
Two Heaters in One
One purchase. A dedicated patio heater and a go-anywhere portable heater.
Most patio heaters are one piece and anchored in place. Most portable heaters aren't powerful enough for your patio.
Patio Heater
On the stand, the EMBER Tower functions as a dedicated patio heater: a tall, elegant unit with four caster wheels that lets you roll warmth exactly where you need it on your deck, patio, or event space. The 20 lb propane tank sits hidden inside the stand, the hose routes through cleanly, and the whole setup looks like one polished product.
Portable Heater
Lift the EMBER off the stand and it instantly becomes a portable propane heater — ready for your boat, garage, RV, campsite, or anywhere else you need 18,000 BTU of forced-air heat. No rewiring. No conversion kit. No power draw. The same self-powered thermoelectric engine that heats your patio works just as hard in a marina slip, a wall tent, or the back of a van. Indoors or out, on the water or off the grid — the EMBER doesn't ask for an outlet, a battery, or a signal. Just pick it up and go.

Heat That Powers Itself
The BlazOn EMBER delivers 18,000 BTUs of forced-air warmth across 750 square feet, running up to 10 hours on two 1 lb propane tanks — with zero electricity, no outlet, and no battery, because its fan runs on thermoelectric energy harvested from the flame itself. Forced air distributes heat up to 50% more efficiently than a comparable fanless heater, all from a unit that weighs under 23 pounds and runs quietly enough for conversation.
Built Safe, Certified Safe
The BlazOn EMBER is CSA certified for both indoor and outdoor use — one of the only portable propane heaters rated to run safely inside a home, cabin, van, or boat. An oxygen depletion sensor shuts the unit off before air quality becomes unsafe, while tip-over protection and automatic flame-out shut-off cut the gas supply the moment something goes wrong. Premium all-metal construction — no plastic anywhere — means there is nothing to melt, warp, or off-gas, even after years of hard use.
Safety First
We built in all the safety features you've come to expect in a propane heater. Then we added more.
"I'm buying it because of the safety."
- Cool Surfaces - The top, sides, back and bottom of the EMBER stay cool by circulating fresh air through gaps in the frame.
- No Open Flame - Fireplace glass sits between you and the stunning blue propane flame and prevents the flame from blowing out.
- Top Front Grill - You can momentarily touch the top front grill where the heat comes out, or accidentily bump into it without burning yourself. The bottom front grill stays warm to the touch.
- Indoor Safe - At 99.99% complete combustion, the EMBER is certified by the CSA group for indoor use.
- Standard Safety Features - Low oxygen shut-off (ODS), tip-over switch, thermal cutoff, and flame-out shutdown round out the safety features.
Maximum runtime on any tank
On its two standard 1 lb propane tanks, the EMBER runs up to 10 hours on the low setting, about 5 hours on medium, and roughly 2.5 hours at full 18K BTU — enough to cover most patio evenings, boat cabins, or overnight chills.
Paired with a 20 lb refillable tank and a standard propane adapter hose, that same fuel math extends to 100 hours of continuous heat on low, 50 hours on medium, or a full 24-hour stretch on high — ideal for extended off-grid stays, liveaboards, and multi-day emergency outages.
(Pro version) Quick Heat, Quick Charge
Press the turbo button and the EMBER's fan kicks into high gear — pushing maximum airflow across the room to warm a cold cabin, van, or living room faster without changing the burner's BTU output or fuel consumption.
The built-in 5V USB port draws power from the same thermoelectric generator that runs the fan, so you can charge a phone, headlamp, tablet, or handheld radio off the heater itself — no outlet, no battery pack, no extra gear.
