Ortal Wilderness Three Sided 51" Fireplace

A real-log fire you can see from three sides. Quick Facts • Viewing Area: Approx. 54″ wide, open on three sides; standard or tall glass heights. • Fuel: Natural gas or propane. • Controls: Remote with thermostat; smartphone app and wall switch optional. • Fan: None; the Double Glass option uses near-silent fans inside the barrier itself. Who It’s For Put a fireplace flat against a wall and the fire belongs to one part of one room—walk to the kitchen or sit at the table and it’s out of view. You need a fire you can see from every seat. If you’re building or remodeling and want the fireplace on a peninsula or room divider where the living, dining, and kitchen spaces all share it, the Wilderness Three Sided 51″ is the one. It builds into a framed wall, so plan on tile or stone finish work as part of the job. Choose a single-sided unit instead and the fire disappears the moment you leave the room it faces. What Makes It Special Ortal built the Wilderness burner to do one thing: give a modern gas fireplace the look and feel of a real hearth fire . Flames rise through and around ceramic logs instead of marching along a row of jets, and you choose the wood—Driftwood, Valley Oak, or Birch. Then the fire gets shown off properly. Glass wraps three sides with no metal frame breaking up the view, so the same fire reads from the couch, the dining table, and the kitchen beyond— the way a fire on a peninsula should . Every fireplace this size needs a safety barrier, and Ortal gives you two good ones. The standard mesh screen is so fine it nearly disappears. The Double Glass option adds a second pane with quiet fans circulating air between the layers, keeping the outer glass under the 172°F safety standard —cooler where hands and guests are. Possible Downsides • Double Glass versions need household electricity and won’t run during a power outage. • A barrier is required —mesh screen or Double Glass; there is no bare-glass configuration. • Log sets are the only interior —Driftwood, Valley Oak, or Birch; stone and glass media aren’t offered on this model. If you want the fire visible from every seat—not just the ones facing it—the Wilderness Three Sided 51″ is the right decision. The divider between two rooms becomes the reason people linger in both. It comes in standard or tall glass heights, with a mesh screen or Double Glass barrier and your choice of Driftwood, Valley Oak, or Birch logs in natural gas or propane.
