The Contura 310 is a freestanding wood burning stove designed to deliver dependable heat with a clean, controlled burn. It suits a wide range of UK homes, from period properties with existing chimneys to modern renovations looking for a focal heating appliance.

With a generous firebox capable of taking logs up to 50cm, this model is built for longer burn times and less frequent refuelling. It is a practical choice for homeowners wanting both performance and flexibility in how the stove is configured.

Why Choose This Model?

From an installation perspective, the Contura 310 is a straightforward, reliable stove that works well in most standard chimney setups. The larger firebox gives it a clear advantage over smaller models when heating open-plan or larger living areas.

The single air control makes it easy to operate, even for first-time stove users. It offers good control over burn rate without needing constant adjustment, which is important for maintaining efficiency and reducing fuel use.

This model is particularly well suited where you want a strong heat output without moving into oversized or overly complex stove systems.

The Clean Burning system introduces preheated air into the firebox, improving combustion and reducing smoke output. This results in:
