Ortal Wilderness 60H
The Ortal Wilderness 60H is a linear direct vent gas fireplace. Ortal's Wilderness burner runs the flame up through the log set instead of along a bed in front of it, so the fire reads much closer to wood than a typical linear gas fireplace. It still has the clean steel frame and large glass Ortal is known for, and it runs on natural gas or propane.
This is the H height version of the 60 inch Wilderness, the mid height, with taller glass than the standard model. You can order it front facing, as a left or right corner or three sided. The front is either Ortal's double glass heat barrier, which keeps the outer glass cool enough to touch, or a micro mesh protective screen. It is offered with the standard log set or the Long Driftwood set, and the long logs change the venting requirement, so that choice gets made early.
With the Long Driftwood log set this model needs a power vent. With the standard logs it can run on a passive vent in many layouts. We confirm which applies from the manual once we know the log set and the vent route.

Input and efficiency figures are Ortal's published ratings. How much warmth you feel depends on the room, the configuration, the venting and how the fireplace is set up.
Ortal fireplaces are built to order, so the configuration, heat barrier, interior and fire bed all get chosen before it ships. We measure the space, plan the vent run, confirm the clearances against the Ortal installation manual, and handle the install and the service afterward.
