The Contura 890 Style wood burning stove is a tall 5 kW stove designed to bring efficient heat and stronger visual presence to the room without requiring an oversized footprint. Its upright proportions make it a natural focal point, giving the fire more prominence while still remaining practical to place in a wide range of interiors.
A key part of this model’s appeal is its height. The taller body gives the stove a more architectural look, helping it hold its own in the room whether the fire is lit or not. That makes it particularly effective in spaces where the stove is expected to contribute to the overall design as well as provide everyday heating. The cast iron door is built to cope with repeated temperature changes, while the choice of black painted aluminium, black glass or black soapstone top allows the finish to be tailored more closely to the room scheme. The result is a stove that combines a compact footprint with a more substantial overall presence.
In use, the 890 Style is built for straightforward and efficient operation. It delivers 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 makes output regulation simple and precise. ASF – Automatic Start Function, RBF – Refuelling Boost Function and the Silent Sliding Ashtray all contribute to easier everyday use, from lighting the stove through to refuelling and ash handling.

Expert Insight
A taller stove body changes the way the appliance sits in the room. It gives the fire more vertical emphasis and often suits interiors where a standard-height stove might feel visually lost. The cast iron door is also a practical specification, as shape-retaining materials are important where the stove is repeatedly exposed to high operating temperatures.
The option of top or rear chimney connection gives useful flexibility when planning the flue route. Accessories listed for this model, including Powerstone and an outdoor air inlet, may also be relevant depending on the installation and room setup.
Suitability
The Contura 890 Style is well suited to living rooms, open-plan interiors and renovation projects where the stove needs to act as a more defined feature within the space. It is a strong choice for customers who want efficient wood burning performance in a format that feels taller, more substantial and more design-led than a lower stove body.
Installation / Technical Notes
This model supports chimney connection from above or behind, which can help with different flue layouts. It has a net weight of 90 kg, takes logs up to 33 cm in length and is listed with accessories including floor protection, an outdoor air inlet and Powerstone.
