Abstract: A portable outdoor heater comprises a plurality of hollow, rigid drum sections releasably connected in an end-to-end relationship so as to form an elongated conduit having a horizontally disposed longitudinal axis. Adjacent drum sections are releasably secured to one another by hasps. A propane burner extends into one end of the conduit to provide heat into the drums. The drums each have a plurality of holes therein through which the heat dissipates. A container is provided for holding balls, gloves and other objects to be warmed. In use, the heater can simultaneously warm many people standing adjacent the drum sections, leaning against the drum sections, or sitting upon the drum sections. The heater can be quickly and easily disassembled for storage and transportation.
