Hot choice

Just as the design of our outdoor living spaces has become more sophisticated in recent years, so too has the technology in our patio heaters and gas barbecues.

The latest Rinnai Outdoor Lifestyle range, which includes stainless steel barbecues, a patio heater and a table top heater, combines innovative design with performance.

The Rinnai patio heater and table top heater are designed to maximise energy efficiency while providing a good source of outdoor heating. New Zealand sales manager Mark Chapman says the new patio heater is highly energy efficient and provides a high, even heat. Manufactured from durable stainless steel and aluminium, the patio heater displays a bright, radiant glow from the ceramic burner.

"Glass rods distribute the heat evenly onto the aluminium-spun hood for a more effective heat distribution," says Chapman.

A smaller, table top gas heater also produces a high, even heat and can be fixed to a table.

Another form of outdoor heating from Rinnai is the wall-mounted Super Ray infrared gas heater that can be used under cover. Unaffected by external air currents, the heat is channelled to specific areas by reflectors, which helps save energy costs.

The latest barbecue technology also makes entertaining a pleasure. The Rinnai Imperial barbecue offers an extra-large cooking capacity and includes a smoker and infrared rotisserie burner.

The Imperial has a stainless steel body, with a double-skinned hood and cabinet doors. Other features include three powerful 22Mj cast-iron burners, ideal for searing your steak, an LPG tank gauge and an electronic push-button ignition.
