The Contura 690 Style wood burning stove is a tall 6 kW model designed to bring the elevated presence of a traditional tiled stove into a more modern format. With an A+ efficiency class, 86% efficiency, and a fire positioned high above floor level, it is built for homeowners who want stronger visual impact, efficient heating, and flexible configuration options in one stove.
Its tall proportions are a defining feature. By raising the fire higher in the room, this model creates a more commanding focal point and changes how the stove is experienced from seating level. That elevated fire position gives it a more architectural feel, while still delivering the practical advantages of a modern stove. The model is available in different colour and top options, including glass and soapstone tops, allowing the final look to be tailored more closely to the room. A lower door is standard, helping keep the base visually neat, while optional log storage adds practical flexibility depending on how the stove will be used.
This model also includes a strong set of features aimed at making operation easier and more controlled. The Automatic Start Function manages 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 bring nearly spent embers back to life by introducing fresh oxygen from below, making it easier for new logs to catch. The Silent Sliding Ashtray makes emptying smoother and quieter, while the cool touch handle improves comfort during everyday use. For buyers who want longer heat release, heat retaining Powerstone is available as an option.
With support for logs up to 36 cm and chimney connection from above or behind, this stove combines efficient performance with a more distinctive tall format. Its maximum heating area of 150 m² also makes it suitable for rooms that need more than just compact occasional heat.

Expert Insight:
A taller stove with the fire set higher above the floor changes both the look of the appliance and the way it works within the room. It gives a more prominent flame view from normal seating height and can make the stove feel more integrated into the vertical architecture of the space. Adding Powerstone can also help extend useful warmth beyond the main burn cycle.
Suitability:
This model is well suited to living rooms, open plan interiors, and design led spaces where a taller stove profile and stronger focal presence are important. It is a strong choice for buyers who want a more traditional vertical influence with the efficiency and usability of a modern stove.
Installation / Technical Notes:
The stove can be connected from above or behind, helping with different flue routes and installation layouts. Accessories listed include fan, floor protection, log box, outdoor air inlet, Powerstone, soft close door, and turntable.
