With a few optional adjustments, the SS stainless heater performs admirably. After a ten-year battle with our stainless patio heater's faulty ignition (made in China, Nextgrill model 106A-S), we've finally found a solution. After nearly 15 years, the stainless Nextgrill heater had still nearly as new body, so replacement of the entire head was attractive alternative. br>Fire Sense Pro patio heater was out of stock on Amazon and when I found it in the Q&A section, I was ready to dump it and buy a new, much better one at a higher cost. br>After nearly 15 years, the stainless Nextgrill heater had still nearly as new body, so replacement of the entire head was attractive alternative. Because there wasn't a suitable table available, and the post diameter was nearly 3", I ordered just the head. The ignition knob had been knocked out and was rolling around inside the package, so I had to replace it and push back the rubber sleeve in the push-button. To keep it in place, close the button cover on the ignition switch. It's a good thing these small parts didn't get lost in the shipping process. br>If the post has about 2, this is a great part to upgrade your floor patio heater. Inside diameter is 84". With a few minor adjustments, this head will fit our Nextgrill heater:
1. The head will be attached to the pole with four stainless M6 bolts, and the reflector dome will be attached to the head with three M8 nuts and washers.
2. To align the front control plate with the front of the table and gas tank cabinet, cut 1/2" off the top of the pole to remove the sections with original holes and drill new four holes.
3. Three holes, about 3-inches apart, are required in the original reflector dome. 3/8" from the center at 120 degrees, with cleaning and polishing possible. It sits about 2" above the head of the three M8 bolts. Three M8 nuts and washes (not included) are used to secure it. Surprisingly, the head included part J, the wheels assembly, which was not required because the Nextgrill patio heater already had a nice front-facing grill. It has a loading rectangular chamber with larger wheels (not well placed, but still functional) and a heavy base inside, as well as a nice rectangular table, which the original Fire Sense Pro heater did not have. Finally, for a fraction of the cost, we have a better patio heater than the original: ignition is perfect, just like on our SS Weber grill, the flame is as expected, and the heating is impressive. br>I polished the reflector with 150 grit sandpaper and an orbital sander from beneath, and the stainless steel parts with 1000 grit with a belt sander, following the grains orientation perpendicular to the pole length. Not only does it now function flawlessly, but it also appears to be a brand new patio heater. I only wish I had done this upgrade sooner rather than attempting to repair the original head, which was burned off and had frayed wires.
I bought two of these heater heads to replace the heater heads on my old Costco/Nexgrill patio heaters. They had already failed a long time ago. I discovered that it could be done with a few minor changes thanks to a very helpful review. As a result, I'd like to express my gratitude to the individual who took the time to write the review. This is a follow-up to that review, with the goal of providing more clarity and information. My heaters have the PTH- model numbers. 106- PTH106R and 3G The only difference between the two heaters that I can see is that one has a beverage tray while the other does not. They appear to be the same heater in all other respects. br>br>To replace the head on your patio heater, follow the steps below. Remove the old head from the post, which is held in place by four screws at the top. Remove the reflector shield from the top of the head before attempting to remove it. Then, down below where the tank is, disconnect the gas hose. You can throw away the old hose because the new one comes with it. The four existing screw holes at the top of the post are just a tad too small for the metric m6 bolts you'll need to install the new head. These bolts, which aren't included, must be provided by you. (4) m6x15mm long m6x15mm long m6x15mm long m6x It's worth noting that any length bolt will work, ranging from 10mm to 30mm. Simply drill these existing holes in the post a little larger, and you're good to go. The old reflector must be mounted on the top of the new head, which requires another modification. Three m8x1 are required. To mount the reflector, you'll need a total of 25 metric nuts. You'll also need to drill holes in the reflector that correspond to the three threaded posts on the new heater head. To avoid rusting, I recommend buying stainless steel nuts and bolts. br>br>In total, you'll need four m6x15mm stainless bolts and three m8-mm stainless bolts. To mount the reflector, drill three new holes in the reflector with a m8 metric or a 5/16" (same size) drill bit slightly larger than the four existing holes at the top of the post. The original cap must be reinstalled on top of the reflector as the final issue. You can choose whether or not to complete this section; it is not required and is solely for aesthetic purposes. You can do this with the threaded rod you already have and the decorative threaded nut. To mount the cap on the reflector's underside, you'll need a 1/4" nut and a washer. br>br>I've got to say, the heaters are fantastic! The igniter is electric, which is far superior to my old one, and it requires a AAA battery (not included). On the first try, the heater turned on right away. I now have two brand new heaters for less than half the price of a new one, and I hope this review is as helpful to someone else as the previous one was to me.
It was a breeze to put together. The unit's price tag was well worth it. Although the warmth is less intense than in other models, it is still adequate.
It had ceased to function.
It was a perfect match. It's a great way to spruce up an old tower without having to buy a new one.
