On a cool night, will this provide enough heat to keep those sitting around it warm?

It isn't as warm as a large fire, but it does throw off a fair amount of heat. I get cold easily and would wear a jacket while using this when it is in the low 50s. As the previous person said, it is a great deal, looks good, and works well. We are very happy with our purchase.

Yes, used it when it is cool outdoors, however will not keep you warm on a cold evening.

I used it when it was about 50 degrees out and it worked well. I also used it when it was 40 degrees, but 40 was too cold and unless you were sitting right next to it, it did not keep you warm.

I have found that it is truly not a heat source, as the flame is pretty but in the open air it does not produce heat as a source for comfort. It is a nice and the unit is attractive. Amazon price is MUCH less than any other place is what I found and it was Prime shipping when I purchased. Please follow the directions exactly ... do not tighten until instructions tell you to.

You would still need a jacket. If you sit close you will feel warmth, but not really a lot of heat.

I believe I read somewhere that it was advisable to let it cool just a little. I put my dish in while it was nice and warm but not hot. It stayed warm for hours . I was pleased.

Yes, it is hot, even with the cover that it came with. I find myself tossing a turning at night because I overheat on the "bottom side."

Yes, if you are close it will keep you warm, but its most efficient at keeping a hot water bottle filled with hot water.

It does help... the fabric outside and inside are def made to bring you the best comfort and doesn't keep the heat of your body.

Yes, if you want to keep it warm and want its effects. it doesn't draw much power, but must be plugged in for it to work

It's moderately warm to the touch, but I didn't feel like it would burn me. It does say to keep furniture and curtains 12 inches away.

We have it in the guestroom and the guest love it. It is cool at night so your should not have to worry about sweating too much.

That depends on your level of comfort. It works for me because I get hot at night but if you are always cold it will probably not be warm enough.

We have been out around ours at 50 degrees and were very comfortable. Not sure if you can be out in much colder weather. The fire is not that large so the heat does not radiate very far. It is more for the look than the warmth I believe.

It doesn't have a "cooling" feature but I do not find that it gets warm during the night.

I would say yes. Although it does not throw a lot of heat very far. If you are sitting 3 to 4 feet under it you can feel it. It is not intended to heat large areas.

Hot??, that's subjective. If unopened it would keep hot liquid fairly warm. Best you can expect, subject to outside temperature

obviously depends on how high you have it turned up. We have an 8' table, and if it's in the middle, virtually all people can feel the heat.

Yes. The exterior is slightly warm on the bottom, but not enough to heat up whatever is underneath.

It's doesn't make me hot but I keep my house cold so it's just right for me. At this price you can find nice cooling gel pads that go on like a fitted sheet that will cool it for you if you are hot natured.

I haven't noticed it getting hot but I have cushions on the seat. It doesn't seem like it would get too hot but my patio doesn't have direct sun. The chairs seemed to be higher than typical bar height and were a little tricky getting in them. It looks great sitting on my patio hahaha
