Fire Sense 63717 Performance Series 46,000 BTU Propane Patio Heater, Espresso: What to Know
Fire Sense sells a wide range of 'Performance Series' patio heaters spanning roughly 46,000 to 50,000 BTU across multiple finishes and, in some cases, natural gas versions, all under separate model numbers and ASINs. We verified model 63717 specifically, the 46,000 BTU propane version in an espresso (dark brown) powder-coated finish, which is the closest real match to the 'Fire Sense 46,000 BTU Patio Heater' candidate. A near-identical 63718 model exists in gloss black under a different ASIN if you prefer that finish; we did not verify that specific listing's current stock.
Unlike the Fire Sense 60485 model we initially checked (an older, differently-styled hammered-bronze unit that showed as temporarily out of stock on Amazon at the time of this research), the 63717 Performance Series was actively in stock with a working buy box. It's built around a powder-coated steel body with stainless steel burners and a double mantle heating grid, uses a standard 20 lb propane tank (not included), and includes an electronic ignition system and wheels. Fire Sense's own listing states its tip-over protection system automatically shuts off gas flow if the unit is lifted or tilted, and lists assembled dimensions of an 18-inch base and roughly 89 inches tall.
This is a no-frills freestanding heater, no built-in side table, no sand box, no glass-tube flame column, just a tower heater aimed at delivering 46,000 BTU at a lower price point than the EAST OAK or Hiland picks above. Like the others, it's fulfilled through Fire Sense's own official Amazon brand storefront rather than by Amazon.com retail directly.
