The Authentic Hearth Fire The wood-burning hearth you don’t have to feed. Who it’s for You want a fireplace that looks like a wood fire—stacked logs, brick walls, a deep glowing firebox—but you’re done hauling wood, or never wanted to start. Most gas fireplaces work fine, but you can tell they’re gas appliances the moment the flame comes on. You need a gas fire that reads as a real hearth . If you’re building or remodeling and want the fire to look laid by hand, the Ortal Wilderness Traditional 42 is the one; it’s built into a framed wall during construction or a remodel, not slid into an existing masonry fireplace. Choose a standard gas unit instead and you’ll be warm, but the fire will always read as an appliance. Quick facts Viewing area: a 42″-wide fire Fuel: natural gas or propane Controls: handheld remote; wall switch and app control optional Fan: included on the double-glass front; none on the screen front What makes it special The Wilderness burner is built around sculpted ceramic logs , and the full-bodied flame comes up through the stack the way a wood fire does—moving, settled into the logs, not a row of flames behind them. Sit down across from it and the fire is the thing you watch, the way you’d watch a campfire . The firebox finishes the illusion: a brick-lined interior in herringbone or horizontal pattern makes the opening read as masonry, not metal. Across the front, you choose a mesh screen so fine it nearly disappears, or a double-glass front whose quiet built-in fans keep the outer pane far cooler than the fire-side glass—an easier neighbor for a busy family room. Possible downsides Traditional square format only —for a linear, contemporary fire, look at the Wilderness Front models. The double-glass front needs a standard electrical outlet to run its circulation fans; the screen front does not. If you want gas convenience with a fire that looks laid by hand, the Wilderness Traditional 42 is the right decision. Game nights, holidays, and ordinary Tuesday evenings all migrate to the room with the fire. Choose Driftwood, Valley Oak, or Birch logs; a brick interior in red, tan, or black, herringbone or horizontal; Flat Black, Blackridge, or black reflective glass panels; and a screen or double-glass front to finish the look.
