Planika Faro · Outdoor Gas Fireplace
The flame everyone gathers around. The warmth that keeps them there.
A freestanding outdoor gas fireplace with a 360° real flame behind tempered glass and up to 27,300 BTU of adjustable heat — on hidden wheels. No flue. No gas line. No installer.
Why the Faro is different
Most patio heaters warm you. This one warms the whole evening.
A stainless pyramid heater does one job. The Faro does three — heat, atmosphere, and a design piece your patio is built around.
A 360° real flame
Not an orange glow behind a grille — a living flame you can see from every seat, wrapped in tempered glass.
Warmth you can dial in
Up to 27,300 BTU of adjustable heat. Turn it up on cold nights, down to a soft glow for ambiance.
Rolls anywhere
Hidden wheels and a self-contained propane tank. Move it to the table, the lounge, the fire circle — no plumbing.
What you get
Built to look expensive and last outdoors
A flame shielded from the wind
The fire sits inside tempered glass, so a gust doesn’t kill the mood the way it does with an open-tube heater.
17,100–27,300 BTU, adjustable
Real radiant warmth for a seating circle — from a cozy flicker to a genuine heat source, on one dial.
Propane tank hidden inside
A standard 20 lb tank tucks into a concealed compartment. No exposed cylinder, no clutter — just a clean silhouette.
No flue, no gas line, no installer
Connect the tank, ignite, adjust the flame height. You’re warm in minutes — no contractor, no permanent changes.
Galvanized steel & tempered glass
Weather-ready materials in matte black — European design that reads as furniture, not equipment.
Cover included
A protective cover ships in the box, so the Faro stays ready between the nights you actually use it.
Ambiance + heat, in one piece
The centerpiece that also keeps you outside longer
Light it and the whole space changes. The 360° flame draws people in; the heat is what makes them stay past sunset, into the cool months.
It’s the difference between an appliance you switch on and a fireplace you build the night around.

Worth a closer look at the price
$250 buys a heater. This buys the evening.
A cheap stainless pyramid heats the air, rusts by year two, and ends up in the garage.
The Faro is a different category: a European gas fireplace that heats and becomes the reason people come outside. One considered piece — backed by a 2-year warranty and free shipping — instead of a throwaway you replace. And if you’re doing two spaces, buy 2 and save $46.90 automatically at checkout.
Faro vs. a typical stainless pyramid heater
Same propane tank. A completely different evening.
| Planika Faro | Typical pyramid heater | |
|---|---|---|
| Look | Design fireplace, matte black, reads as furniture | Utilitarian tower, visibly an appliance |
| The flame | 360° real flame behind tempered glass | Thin flame in an exposed quartz tube |
| In the wind | Flame shielded by glass | Open flame, easily disturbed by gusts |
| Heat control | Adjustable 17,100–27,300 BTU | Usually one high output setting |
| Tank | 20 lb tank hidden inside | Cylinder visible in the base |
| Build | Galvanized steel & tempered glass | Thin steel, prone to rust |
| Backing | 2-year warranty, cover included, free shipping | Short or unclear warranty |
“Great product. It gives off strong heat, and the build quality is excellent.”
“Very good build quality. On our covered patio with open sides, the heat feels limited, but the flame is beautiful.”
Straight answers
The questions people ask before buying
Will it actually keep us warm?
Yes — up to 27,300 BTU of adjustable radiant heat, enough to keep a seating circle comfortable on a cool evening. Like any open-air flame, wind and fully exposed spots reduce how far the heat carries, so place it in your lounge zone rather than the middle of an open lawn.
What fuel does it use, and is refueling a hassle?
It runs on a standard 20 lb propane tank — the kind you refill or swap at any hardware store or gas station. The tank hides inside the base, and running a lower flame stretches how long each tank lasts.
Does it need installation, a gas line, or a flue?
None of the above. Connect the propane tank, ignite, and adjust the flame height. There’s no flue and no permanent gas line — and because it’s on hidden wheels, you can reposition it whenever your layout changes.
What about wind and safety?
The flame sits inside tempered glass, which shields it from the gusts that disturb open-tube heaters. It’s built from galvanized steel and tempered glass for outdoor use only — keep the clearances listed in the manual around and above it, away from walls, ceilings, and anything combustible.
Is $469 worth it over a cheap pyramid heater?
They’re different products. A budget pyramid heats the air and usually looks and feels like equipment. The Faro is a European-designed fireplace that heats and anchors the space — with a 2-year warranty, protective cover, and free shipping. One good piece instead of a throwaway you replace.
