The Contura 990 Style wood burning stove is a tall 6 kW stove designed to combine strong heating performance with a more elevated and commanding fire view. Its high firebox lifts the flames further off the floor, helping the stove become a natural focal point while still retaining a practical footprint.
This model is built for interiors where the stove is intended to do more than simply heat the room. The taller body gives it a stronger architectural presence, making it visually prominent whether lit or not. The raised firebox changes the way the fire is experienced, bringing the flame picture into a more noticeable line of sight and helping the stove feel more integrated into the living space. The cast iron door reinforces the classic look while also providing the stability needed under repeated temperature change. A log compartment beneath the stove keeps fuel neatly stored, and the choice of black cast iron top or black soapstone top allows the finish to be tailored more closely to the surrounding interior.
In terms of performance, the 990 Style delivers 6 kW output, 85% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 150 m². The BPF – Bypass Function helps reduce the risk of smoke entering the room when the door is opened, while ASF – Automatic Start Function controls the start-up air through the grate so the stove can be lit with the door closed. RBF – Refuelling Boost Function helps bring fading embers back before adding more wood, and the Silent Sliding Ashtray and cool-touch handle improve day-to-day usability.

Expert Insight
A taller stove with a raised firebox changes the visual balance of the appliance in the room. It makes the flame picture easier to appreciate from normal seating height and gives the stove a more substantial presence without necessarily increasing width. The cast iron door is also an important construction detail, as it is chosen for its ability to maintain shape under repeated heating cycles.
The Bypass Function is especially useful in daily use because smoke control during door opening is one of the most noticeable differences between basic and better-resolved stove designs. Accessories such as Powerstone may also be relevant where additional heat retention is a priority.
Suitability
The Contura 990 Style is well suited to living rooms, open-plan interiors and renovation projects where the stove is expected to be a visible centrepiece as well as an effective heat source. It is a strong choice for customers who want higher heat performance in a tall stove with a more classic cast iron front.
