Wilderness Three Sided 68" Gas Fireplace

The Three-Sided Centerpiece Six feet of fire, visible from every seat in the room. Who it’s for A fireplace set flat into a wall shows its fire to one side of the room, and in an open floor plan that means most of the seats face drywall. You need a fire you can see from every seat . If you’re building or remodeling a great room and you want the fireplace to anchor the whole space rather than decorate one wall of it, the Ortal Wilderness Three Sided 68″ is the one. Choose a single-sided unit instead and the fire disappears the moment you cross the room. Quick facts Viewing area: 73⅜” wide, open to three sides Fuel: natural gas or propane Controls: handheld remote with thermostat and programmable modes; app and wall switch optional Heat barrier: your choice of a fine mesh screen or a fan-cooled double glass front What makes it special Most gas fireplaces show the fire in one direction. This one puts glass on three sides , so the flame stays in view from the kitchen island, the dining table, and the sofa all at once—a peninsula of fire that divides the space without walling it off. The fire itself comes from Ortal’s Wilderness burner: a long driftwood log set in ceramic, with flame rising the full width of the logs. It reads like a wood fire someone tends all evening, but it holds the room on its own— set 70 from the couch and it cycles as needed . Because the glass is within reach on three sides, the safety barrier matters, and you pick it. The mesh screen is so fine it’s almost invisible, and the double glass front uses silent fans to keep the outer pane far cooler than the fire behind it—worth considering with kids or pets in the house. Possible downsides Runs on household power, so it won’t operate during an outage. Long driftwood is the only log style at this size; smaller Wilderness models also offer driftwood, dark brown, and chopped wood sets. Interior lighting comes only with the taller H glass version; the standard-height models don’t include it. If you want a fire the whole room can see, the Wilderness Three Sided 68″ is the right decision. The open room you built becomes the room everyone ends up in. It comes in two glass heights—standard, or the taller H with interior lighting—with your choice of protective screen or double glass front, a long driftwood log set for natural gas or propane, and interiors in standard matte black, black reflective glass, or the Blackridge panel.
