The Contura 896G Style wood burning stove is a tall 5 kW stove designed to give the fire stronger presence in the room through its upright proportions, generous side glass and full glass door. It combines efficient everyday heating with a more open, contemporary flame view, making it a strong focal point in both modern and classic interiors.
This model is built around visibility and visual impact. The tall format gives the stove a more architectural stance, helping it hold attention in the room without increasing the footprint. The generous side panes open up the flame picture from wider angles, while the full glass door gives the front a cleaner and more modern appearance. Available in black or white, and with a choice of black painted aluminium, black glass or black soapstone top, the stove can be tailored to suit a range of interior schemes. The result is a design that feels substantial, but still refined.
In day-to-day use, the 896G Style offers 5 kW output, 81% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 120 m². Contura’s Clean Burning System uses preheated combustion air to support efficient combustion and low particle concentrations, while the single control allows precise output regulation. ASF – Automatic Start Function, RBF – Refuelling Boost Function and the Silent Sliding Ashtray are all included to improve usability during lighting, refuelling and ash handling.

Expert Insight
On Contura models, the G version denotes a full glass door, which gives the stove a more contemporary front and a cleaner visual frame around the fire. Combined with the side glass and tall body, that makes this version especially effective where the stove is intended to be a visual centrepiece as well as a working heat source.
The option of top or rear chimney connection gives useful flexibility when planning the flue route. Accessories such as floor protection, an outdoor air inlet and Powerstone may also be relevant depending on the installation design.
Suitability
The Contura 896G Style is well suited to living rooms, open-plan interiors and renovation projects where the stove needs to contribute strongly to the room design. It is a strong option for customers who want efficient wood burning performance in a tall format, with broad flame visibility and the cleaner look of a full glass door.
