Abstract
A heating apparatus includes a burner assembly for igniting fuel from a fuel source, an upper housing for the burner assembly, and an elongate support member extending upwardly to the burner assembly housing to space the housing from ground level. A shroud is spaced from the burner assembly by the elongate support member, is configured for slidably engaging the elongate support member and is dimensioned for surrounding the fuel source. An emitter surface of the housing is inclined relative to a longitudinal axis of the burner assembly for maximum efficiency in warming of a preselected area by the heat emitted from the housing. At least three legs support the elongate support member above a base and define a space for accommodating a gas cylinder serving as the fuel source. A dome is mountable above the burner assembly and a single carton is provided for enclosing the disassembled assembly.
