Ortal Wilderness Front Facing 68" Gas Fireplace

A log fire nearly six feet wide, without a single stick of firewood. Quick Facts • Viewing Area: 68″ wide, in two glass heights. • Fuel: Natural gas or propane. • Controls: Remote with thermostat modes; Wi-Fi app and wall switch optional. • Fan: None; Double Glass models use quiet built-in fans to cool the glass. Who It’s For Most linear gas fireplaces announce themselves: a ribbon of flame over glass or stone, handsome but unmistakably an appliance. You want the scale of a linear fire with the warmth of a real hearth. You need a fire that looks like burning wood —at a size that owns the wall. If this fireplace is going on the main wall of a great room or dining room and you want guests asking if it’s real, the Ortal Wilderness Front 68″ is the one. A standard linear burner gives you a modern flame; this one gives you driftwood logs nearly six feet across . What Makes It Special Ortal built the Wilderness burner to recreate an authentic hearth fire, and at this size the effect is rare: flames rise through a full-length driftwood log set , not from a strip beneath a bed of media. From across the room it reads as a real wood fire— a campfire the length of a loveseat . Every model comes with a heat barrier. The standard protective screen is a mesh so fine you forget it’s there. The Double Glass option adds a second pane with quietly circulating air between the layers, so the outer glass stays under 172°F —the one to look at when kids or pets share the room. The tall-glass versions add roughly six more inches of fire height and include interior lighting. Possible Downsides • One log style at this size —long driftwood only; smaller Wilderness models offer chopped-wood and dark-brown log sets. • Won’t operate during a power outage —this model needs household electricity to run. • Interior lighting comes only on the tall-glass versions ; standard-height models don’t include it. If you want a linear fireplace that looks like burning wood instead of a gas appliance, the Wilderness Front 68″ is the right decision. The wall it lives on becomes the reason everyone ends up in that room. The 68″ comes with a protective screen or Double Glass front, in standard or tall glass heights, with driftwood log sets for natural gas or propane and optional Wi-Fi app or wall-switch controls.
