The Contura 596G Style wood burning stove is a tall 5 kW model designed to give a broader, brighter view of the fire through its glass door and enlarged side glass panels. With a choice of black or white finishes, a white enamelled cast iron top, and the option to add Powerstone, it is well suited to interiors that want stronger flame visibility with more retained warmth.
A key feature of this model is how much of the fire it reveals. The glass door gives the stove a more open, modern front, while the even larger side glass panels allow the flames to be seen from more angles across the room. In practical terms, that makes the stove feel more visually present and helps spread the atmosphere of the fire beyond a straight on view. The white version adds a lighter finish, and the white enamelled cast iron top gives the stove a more distinctive surface detail. It can also be specified with painted aluminium, glass, or soapstone top options depending on the version chosen.
The stove includes several practical functions designed to improve everyday use. The Automatic Start Function controls lighting air through the grate, allowing the stove to be lit with the door shut rather than left open during start up. The Refuelling Boost Function helps revive embers that are nearly spent by introducing fresh oxygen from below, making it easier for new logs to catch. The Clean Burning system uses preheated combustion air supplied from the rear to support efficient burning over longer periods and low particle concentrations. The cool touch handle improves comfort in use, the Silent Sliding Ashtray makes routine emptying smoother, and the single control keeps combustion regulation simple and precise.
For buyers who want extra retained warmth, Powerstone can be added to increase heat output over time. With 80% efficiency, A rated performance, and a maximum heating area of 120 m², this model combines strong day to day efficiency with a taller, more visually open stove design. Chimney connection is available from above or behind, giving useful flexibility when planning the installation.

Expert Insight:
A tall stove with enlarged side glass can make a noticeable difference in open plan or multi aspect rooms, where the fire is seen from several positions rather than one fixed viewpoint. Adding Powerstone is also useful where the aim is not just immediate warmth, but a more sustained heat release after the main burn begins to settle.
Suitability:
This model is well suited to living rooms, open plan spaces, and design led interiors where a taller stove and wider flame view can become part of the room design. It is a strong option for buyers who want a more modern presentation of the fire with the option of added heat retention.
Installation / Technical Notes:
The stove can be connected from above or behind, helping with different flue routes and room layouts. Powerstone is available as an optional addition for extra heat output.
