The Contura 956 Style wood burning stove is a compact 6 kW stove designed to combine strong heating performance with a more open view of the fire. Its classic cast iron door and generous side glass panels give it a timeless look while helping the flames remain visible from wider angles in the room.
This model is built for customers who want practical heat output without moving to a larger stove format. With 6 kW output, 85% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 150 m², it offers substantial everyday heating performance in a manageable footprint. The cast iron door gives the stove a more classic character and is designed to retain its shape under repeated temperature change. The side glass panels add an important visual benefit, opening up the fire view and making the stove feel more engaging in use. A log compartment beneath the stove keeps fuel neatly stored, while the choice of black cast iron top or black soapstone top allows the final finish to be better matched to the room.
Practical operation is a major strength of the 956 Style. The BPF – Bypass Function opens a bypass damper when the stove door is opened, helping to capture smoke and reduce the risk of it entering the room. ASF – Automatic Start Function controls start-up air through the grate so the stove can be lit with the door shut, while RBF – Refuelling Boost Function helps bring embers back before refuelling. The Silent Sliding Ashtray and cool-touch handle add further day-to-day convenience.

Expert Insight
The combination of a cast iron door and side glass gives this stove a useful balance between traditional durability and a more open flame view. Side glass can make a noticeable difference in everyday use, especially in living spaces where the stove is seen from more than one main seating position. The Bypass Function is also a valuable practical feature, as smoke control during door opening is one of the key details that affects real-world usability.
With 6 kW output, 85% efficiency and a 40 cm maximum log length, this model sits in a stronger heating category than smaller compact stoves while still remaining easy to place in the room.
Suitability
The Contura 956 Style is well suited to living rooms, renovation projects and everyday family spaces where a compact stove still needs to provide stronger heating performance and a good view of the fire. It is a strong choice for customers who want classic cast iron styling, wider flame visibility and practical operating features in one stove.
