The Contura 620T Style soapstone stove is a 6 kW model designed for homeowners who want strong retained warmth from a more substantial natural stone body. With a heat retaining soapstone surround, cast iron door, and A+ efficiency class, it is built to deliver efficient day to day heating with a steadier release of warmth over time.
The defining feature of this model is its soapstone surround. Soapstone is valued for its ability to retain heat, which means the stove can continue giving off warmth after the main flames have reduced. In practical use, that helps create a more even sense of comfort through the evening rather than relying only on direct heat during the burn itself. The cast iron door provides durability where the appliance experiences repeated temperature change, while the cool touch handle improves comfort in everyday operation. A practical log compartment is built in below the firebox, and an optional lower compartment cover is available where a cleaner closed look is preferred.
This model also includes several functions designed to make use more straightforward. 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 Silent Sliding Ashtray makes routine emptying smoother and quieter. A warming shelf can also be chosen above the door, providing a useful surface for keeping drinks warm.
If the cover is selected instead of the warming shelf, the stove can also be ordered with Powerstone, allowing even more heat to be extracted and retained. With 86% efficiency, a maximum heating area of 150 m², and support for logs up to 36 cm, it offers a strong balance of efficient output and stored warmth. Available in black or grey, it also provides chimney connection from above or behind for greater installation flexibility.

Expert Insight:
A soapstone stove in this output category is often chosen where retained warmth matters as much as direct heat. The option to add Powerstone when using the cover instead of the warming shelf gives this model further scope for longer heat release, which can be especially useful in rooms used over extended periods.
Suitability:
This model is well suited to living rooms, open plan spaces, and interiors where natural materials and longer lasting warmth are both priorities. It is a strong choice for buyers who want a more substantial stove body with better stored heat potential than a standard metal model.
Installation / Technical Notes:
The stove can be connected from above or behind, helping with different flue routes and room layouts. Listed accessories include fan, floor protection, outdoor air inlet, Powerstone, soft close door, and turntable. Powerstone can be added when the cover is selected instead of the warming shelf.
