Many parts of the country are too cold for cooking outdoors in January, but here in California we’re lucky to be able to enjoy our outdoor kitchens year-round. And even if temperatures dip below the comfort level, we can heat things up with patio heaters – the perfect addition to any outdoor entertainment area.
At Atherton Appliance & Kitchens in Redwood City and BSC Culinary in San Francisco, we offer two premium brands of patio heaters. Below is a summary of what each brand provides:
DCS by Fisher & Paykel has a long history of producing safe, efficient, and high performance outdoor heaters for restaurants and hotels. Now you can enjoy the same comfort and luxury at home with the DCS Built-In Patio Heater. This attractive wall-mounted heater features 56,000 BTU of comfortable heat up to 15 feet away. Available in natural gas models only, this heater also has an optional one-channel remote.
In addition to outdoor heaters, DCS produces numerous world-class appliances for outdoor kitchens. In addition to a variety of brushed stainless steel grill carts (some with wooden cutting boards), DCS produces the popular Liberty Grills. With the Dual Side Burner/Griddle unit of the Liberty Collection, you can prepare delicious dishes that are not customarily cooked outside. A large griddle surface allows you to add pancakes and bacon to your outdoor breakfast menu – you can even host an omelet bar in your outdoor kitchen! DCS also offers Liberty Island Essentials for a seamless look, a 27” outdoor warming drawer, and a number of outdoor refrigeration options (including a 24” Outdoor Keg Tapper/Refrigerator. And of course, the company has a range of traditional grills. If you’re looking to outfit a complete outdoor kitchen, we’d be happy to talk you through the products provided by this premium manufacturer.
Lynx offers both freestanding and mounted patio heaters that are both functional and elegant, and that will work well for any outdoor kitchen. The Post Mounted Infrared Outdoor Patio Heater has a robust commercial design with all 304 stainless steel construction. Rated at 53,000 BTUs, this heater features innovative technology that reduces the center hot spot and distributes heat evenly. Its polished ‘double surface’ reflector intensifies heat output and heats up to a 24-foot circle. This outdoor heater is specially designed for improved wind resistance, has a direct spark ignition with auto re-light, and features remote wall switch operation. There is an electronic Hi/Lo heat selection, and the two-stage output provides maximum turn-down capability. Like the DCS wall heater, this patio heater is available for Natural Gas only, and is perfect if you’re looking for a heater with a fixed position post mounted design.
Lynx’s Freestanding Infrared Patio Heater shares many features with the company’s mounted model, but can easily be moved and is rated at 46,000 BTUs. This heater is available for liquid propane only, and has an optional beverage shelf.
Lynx also offers a wide array of outdoor grills, including the L500 Series of grills and accessories and a line of Professional Grills that elevate outdoor cooking to new levels by offering unique and innovative features. Lynx also offers everything from outdoor refrigeration units to Outdoor Ice Machines and Cocktail Pro Cocktail Stations, so if you’re planning to add an outdoor kitchen to your home or simply want to update your current dining environment, ask us about the great innovations from Lynx!
