The Contura 856TG Style soapstone stove is a 5 kW wood burning stove that combines broad flame visibility with the natural character and heat-retaining properties of soapstone. With generous side glass and a glass door, it is designed for interiors where the fire is intended to be both an effective heat source and a central visual feature.
This model brings together several distinct material and design elements. The soapstone panels add a natural surface finish with unique stone veining, so each stove has its own individual look. Soapstone also retains heat, helping to provide a steadier and more comfortable release of warmth. The glass side panes and glass door maximise the view of the fire from different angles, giving the stove a lighter and more contemporary appearance than a solid-door model. A practical log compartment beneath the stove keeps fuel neatly stored and close at hand, which supports everyday use without adding visual clutter around the appliance.
In performance terms, the stove offers 5 kW output, 81% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 120 m². Contura’s Clean Burning System introduces 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 improve operation at each stage, from lighting to refuelling and ash handling.

Expert Insight
This combination of soapstone cladding and extensive glazing gives the stove a very specific character. The stone changes how heat is released, helping it feel more even over time, while the extra glass increases the visual impact of the fire within the room. That makes this type of model particularly effective in spaces where both material finish and flame view are important parts of the brief.
At 105 kg, the added stone construction gives the stove more weight than standard steel-bodied versions. The option of either top or rear chimney connection also provides useful flexibility when designing the flue route.
Suitability
The Contura 856TG Style is well suited to living rooms, open-plan spaces and renovation projects where the stove needs to contribute strongly to the overall interior. It is a strong option for customers who want the natural appeal of soapstone, the broader fire view of side glass and the cleaner look of a glass-fronted door in one compact stove.
Installation / Technical Notes
