This one says 20 lb of pellets last 4 hours. That means you get 1 hour for every 5 lb of pellets. A 40 lb bag of pellets is $8. So that roughly means that it will cost $1 per hour to generate the 75,000 BTUs.
A 40,000 BTU outdoor propane patio heater consumes about 2 lb per hour at the highest setting. The standard 20 lb take usually cost about $20 to refill. So this would mean that it would cost $2 per hour to run.
So generally speaking, the pellets would be half the cost for nearly twice the BTUs, making it roughly 4x more cost economical than propane. Combine that with never needing to exchange a tank nor deal with a pilot light + having ample pellets on hand (easier to have extra pellets than extra tanks), and it seems like pellets would be the way to go. However, I know nothing about these so perhaps there are other pros and cons.
***edit/addition: The Sam's Club in Michigan sells the pellets for $3.91 for a 40 lb bag. Home Depot has them for $5.58. so depending on the cost per bag, it could be about 8x more economical than a propane heater.
It's great. If you are on the fence, go for it.

I have this pellet chiminea and the heat output is nowhere near a fire pit. You have to be within a few feet to feel the heat, and that's after it's been on high for at least 20 mins. It is not enjoyable to use in weather below 55F.
