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.

From one reviewer:
"Pro's: the heater is heavy duty and well manufactured. It comes with wheels and is easily tilted and rolled to its desired location. The look is appealing and sleek, definitely very elegant. If you like poking a fire you do have to keep this one going.
Con's: if you don't like poking a fire, you do have to keep this going. I can see gas being a bit more convenient. It comes with a poker but there is no hanger to store the poker when not in use."
I have little kids and second thought of they run up to the glass window it'll burn them and that will be a PIA to watch. Gas would avoid this and not put out smoke so I'm leaning toward gas.

I've never used pellet style. Would love to hear from somebody who's actually used something like this. Either way I bought it, worth a shot

It's a pellet stove…. It feeds pellets into a burn cup with an auger. It is meant for pellets only.. The door is to clean the ash, glass is for aesthetics.
