The product, in the report: Rectangular Outdoor Firepit Table Model #FS-1010-T-12 AZ Patio Heaters
FAULTY OUTDOOR FIRE PIT TABLE from AZ PATIO HEATERS (Model FS-1010-T-12) We initially received a faulty burner assembly and had a replacement part shipped to us last week (week of April 11th, 2016). The second time we used the fire table was on April 15th, 2016 in the evening. - We used it outdoors on a second floor wooden deck. - There was a light wind (5-7mph). -About 5-10 minutes into starting the fire, we noticed the wind caused the flame to blow downward underneath the table. The rubber hose connecting the control knob metal section to the propane tank caught on fire. The rubber hose melted and fell off where it was attached to the metal ring that had connected it to the control knob box. It also melted on the other end, where it was attached to the propane tank. - Gas spewed out of control and the table caught on fire and was burned on one side. We used a fire extinguisher to put the fire out.

The product, in the report: AZ Patio Heater Model # HDLS01-CGT4. It is a propane patio heater with a base that holds the tanks. Inside the base is the regulator and the hose travels up the pipe to the upper assembly. Along the side is the pilot ignitor button and the flame control. The upper assembly has a flame ring with mesh around it and a pilot in one spot. Around that is a metal cover to protect from the flame with holes in it. Above that is a reflector plate to force the heat downward. Still available on website.
I purchased a outdoor patio heater at ACE hardware in Daleville, PA. After bringing it home and assembling it per the instructions we began to use it. Within a week we started having issues with the ignitor not working properly. It was inconsistent as I would have to keep pressing it sometimes without lighting or wait them try again. I was concerning with the accumulation of propane until it lit. The patio heater has a tray for setting drinks on it while standing beneath it and we used it as such. After a short time we observed metal pieces dropping on us and the tray. Upon further inspection of the flame area I observed the mesh around the flame was melting and dropping pieces down on us, some of which were hot or could have dropped into our drinks. I contacted AZ Patio Heaters http://www.azpatioheaters.com and spoke with someone named [REDACTED] there. I explained the issue and forwarded pictures to review. In the meantime, we observed that where the screen was missing a flame was protruding out the safety cover and burning the upper heat reflector cover, which could harm a rather tall person or someone standing on a stool. I contacted AZ patio again and was told by [REDACTED] to remove the screen. I was not comfortable rigging it because it still did not address the ignitor issue or the flame shooting out the side. I contacted him a few more times with no response, so I called this morning and spoke to a management person. He told me they were aware for a while of the issue (did they contact you?) and were telling consumers to remove the screen. What effect that will have on windy days? Will the flame shoot out the side and burn the flame reflector like mine? Do you want inexperienced consumers trying to fix this item? Next, he told me the he thought the flame was caused by the regulator, but could it be that it is from the missing screen that burned off? Unknown. Why was this not reported as a safety issue to you if they knew it was a problem for a while with hot metal pieces falling on people or possibly ending up in drinks and consuming? I will be contacting consumer reports as well.
