What They Make
Lava Heat Italia is the trade name of Hamazon G2 LLC, based in Los Angeles, and the brand says it was established in 2001. It makes freestanding gas patio heaters for propane or natural gas, and every collection lists anti-tilt automatic shut-off and flame-failure protection. Its own site is lavaheat.com.
Positano is the glass-tube flame tower line: the 2G at 66,000 BTU and 92.5 in tall, the Lava Lite at 56,000 BTU, and the shorter Capri at 42,000 BTU and 72.5 in. Ravello is the round family, with Opus and Opus Lite at 56,000 BTU and the lounge-height Ember and Milano at 36,000 BTU and 70 in. Palermo is a hooded 51,000 BTU heater wrapped in all-weather rattan over a marine aluminum column, in four weaves. Bellagio is a 51,000 BTU reeded glass drum with rope cording and an LED halo. On the date we checked, the brand listed it as reserving and not in stock.
Two finish programs, Amalfi Studio and Amalfi Architecture, offer powder-coat colors on the 2G, Lava Lite, Capri, Opus and Opus Lite.

How to Tell Their Pieces Apart
Positano and Ravello are built to show the flame, inside a borosilicate glass tube that is triangular on Positano and round on Ravello. Palermo and Bellagio are hooded or drum heaters styled to look like furniture.
Output steps run 36,000 BTU (Ember, Milano), 42,000 (Capri), 51,000 (Palermo, Bellagio), 56,000 (Lava Lite, Opus, Opus Lite) and 66,000 (2G). The catalog describes a rail-glide drawer in the base that conceals a standard 20 lb propane tank, and natural gas versions use a fixed supply line.
The brand describes its heaters as CSA certified and publishes no certificate or standard on the pages we read, so ask your inspector which listing they require. Its own documents also disagree on some figures. Coverage area, one Ravello output and the parts-warranty term vary between the product pages, the 2026 catalog and the warranty page, so this page prints product-page outputs only. Check any figure you rely on against the manual.
Who It Suits, and Who It Doesn't
In our view, Lava Heat Italia fits an open terrace or a high-ceilinged covered space where the heater is meant to be seen.
It isn't for a standard 8-foot covered patio. The brand says on its Positano page that such a patio will not take any of those towers, and the minimum ceiling height and clearances are in the installation manual.
For a fixed, unobtrusive heater, we'd look at Infratech or Bromic. For a fire to sit around, look at a fire table.
