Infrared heating

Hi, Being unable to go abroad as usual this year, like many, one thing that we missed was being able to sit out on warm evenings something that, even in our good spells of weather, is not so enticing in the UK.

It would be great to have a bit of heating to enable us to do so in comfort and have narrowed it down to the infrared type seen in many commercial premises to encourage the use of outside space-many of the hits we had made reference to Covid and the advantages of being outside-and after thinking it would likely be a wall mounted heater have come across some freestanding ones at Screwfix.

One advantage would be being able to use in the awning should we wish to and I wondered if anyone else has infrared heaters either at home or for use when camping and what the experience hs been?

Many thanks.

Well having just seen this thread, whist looking at my posts, wondered how I had forgotten about it???

I wrote it on a weekend, the following week was busy work wise and then a family hospitilisation, followed sadly by a bereavement, so all in all a bit busy.

As I tried to make clear this was a request for peoples experiences at home with the possibility of caravanning use if the portable type were used.

That is not now an option, I have been firmly told, so now only considering the infra red wall mounted type for use at home.

We do carry a fan heater, for use if required, in the van but its not been used for quite a few years and then it was usually on our annual New Year rallies when sitting in the awning and the temp was not rendered bearable by multiple layers of clothing.

Thanks to all who responded but R2B may have a point!
