Keeping warm...

[Geordie888]

Hi again

We have a relatively small yard in which I have my weber OTP. We have a covered over area with seating and we both enjoy sitting outside.

During the summer, it's just about warm enough, but as the evenings get colder, it won't be much fun out there.

I'd like some kind of chiminea (clay, steel, iron?), fire pit, patio heater. I can get wood, don't mind going out with the chainsaw and building a woodstore. But I'd like something which is fairly efficient. Only heating a 2-3m squared area max.

What do you have? What do you recommend? The electric lamps are "easiest" but I'd imagine they're fairly costly to run.

Finances are restricted due to saving for our wedding.

Any recommendations would be helpful

Take the top off the BBQ, fill it with logs and sit back.

Thanks

And that's OK? Won't damage anything?

I've done a couple of times with my Weber, no ill effects

Champion. Will give it a go! On the charcoal grate?

Careful. Melted my handles doing this, however if you don't do it drunk it works well enough. But obviously can't use it during a long smoke. There are some people who make awesome wood burners out of old gas bottles. This is what I would get if I was in your position. They look fantastic, are not too expensive, some even have flat warming tops for heading sauce or billing a kettle.
