Patio heating - gas or electric?

It might be cool out there (-3, I think), cannot see any frost and it is the brightest, sunniest day you could wish. Grass is *green*! :-)

Didn't pilot of old have heated flying suits?

Given the massively powerful LiIon batteries we have now, some sort of heated undergarments would be very practical - escpecially for people with outside non physical jobs (guards, traffic wardens, that sort of thing).

or, somewhat cheaper

You can get heated motorcycle clothing. A friend with an Ariel Atom has some.

coat & lined trousers, connect to upto 6v after ensuring the wire won't get too hot. 20w should keep you toasty,

Batteries. (At least the off-the-shelf ones do, I assume his DIY one would too.)

like sitting by a fire??

How can you tell? There is exactly no information about the product.

AA's? You'll be kept warm carrying the sacks of batteries you're going to need!

Somewhat.

You need a rotisserie. ;-)

And sit next to the chickens and kebabs.

I'm a bit sceptical that the maplin one would be very effective running on just

So is that 2 hours at 45C I think not probbly about 10mins at 45C and 2 hours if run at 25C. I've heard water skying jackets and snow sky jackets might be a better bet.

Of course if you have yourself, hostess, and six guests in various different outfits, getting them all into heated clothing might take a while and on the whole I think an electric heater would be cheaper and easier :-)

Ideal PV generating weather.

No, just a general consensus that people who use patio heaters are tossers
