Fireplace insert - Which manufacturer?

We decided on Ortner and the focus on thermal mass. As nice as it is to see the fire from multiple sides - if the directly radiated heat heats the room too much, it quickly becomes uncomfortable. Of course, we also want to see something, but in the end, comfort was the priority.

Hello,

the point about heat storage is good and we will take it into account. Nevertheless, I would like to have some information regarding the individual manufacturers, as I unfortunately do not know what to pay attention to.

Yesterday we were offered a deployment from [Fa. Austroflamm]. I have never heard of it either. Can someone say something about it?

Austroflamm is very well known and comparable to Schmidt. I believe you can't really go wrong with any manufacturer, the concept has to fit.
