The Contura 886 Style wood burning stove is a 5 kW stove designed to combine efficient heating with strong visual impact. With glass sides and a glass-fronted fire view set against a black finish, it creates a more dramatic flame picture while maintaining a clean and understated overall look.

This model is designed to make the fire a central part of the room. The black finish gives the stove a restrained appearance, while the side glass and front glass area bring the flames into clearer view from more angles. That contrast makes it particularly effective in interiors where the stove is intended to feel calm and minimal when unlit, but visually striking once in use. A choice of black painted aluminium, black glass or black soapstone top also gives more flexibility in how the final stove is styled within the space. The cast iron door is included for shape retention under repeated temperature change, which is an important detail in day-to-day use.

In performance terms, the stove offers 5 kW output, 81% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 120 m². Contura’s Clean Burning System uses preheated combustion air to support efficient combustion and low particle concentrations, while the single control allows straightforward and precise regulation of the burn. Features such as ASF – Automatic Start Function, RBF – Refuelling Boost Function and the Silent Sliding Ashtray are designed to make lighting, refuelling and ash handling easier and more controlled.

Expert Insight

Glass-sided stove designs change the way the appliance works within a room because the fire remains visible from more than one main seating angle. That wider flame picture can make a compact stove feel more present without increasing its footprint. The cast iron door is also a practical construction detail, helping the stove cope with repeated expansion and contraction at operating temperatures.

The optional turntable is worth noting for layout-led spaces, as it allows the stove to be oriented for a better view of the fire. The choice of top or rear chimney connection also adds flexibility at installation stage.

Suitability

The Contura 886 Style is well suited to living rooms, modern renovations and interiors where the stove is intended to act as a subtle feature when off and a stronger focal point when lit. It is a good choice for customers who want efficient wood burning performance with broader flame visibility and a darker, more understated finish.
