The Contura 990T Style wood burning stove is a tall 6 kW stove that combines strong heating performance with the substantial look and heat-retaining benefits of a soapstone exterior. Its raised combustion chamber lifts the flames higher into view, while the stone surround gives the stove a heavier, more architectural presence in the room.
This model is designed for interiors where the stove is expected to make a clear visual statement as well as provide dependable heat. The tall format raises the fire off the ground, helping the flame picture sit higher in the room and making the stove feel more like a centrepiece than a purely functional appliance. The soapstone exterior adds another layer of character, giving the stove a calmer, more robust finish while also contributing useful thermal mass. That means the stone absorbs heat during operation and continues releasing warmth after the fire has reduced. The cast iron door reinforces both the classic appearance and the durability needed under repeated temperature change, while the log compartment beneath the stove keeps fuel neatly stored and close at hand.
In terms of day-to-day performance, the 990T Style delivers 6 kW output, 85% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 150 m². The BPF – Bypass Function helps reduce the risk of smoke entering the room when the door is opened, while ASF – Automatic Start Function allows the stove to be lit with the door shut by controlling the start-up air through the grate. RBF – Refuelling Boost Function helps bring fading embers back before refuelling, and the Silent Sliding Ashtray and cool-touch handle improve everyday handling.

Expert Insight
Soapstone changes how a stove performs after the main flames have fallen back. Because it stores heat during the burn cycle and releases it more gradually, it can help create a steadier warmth in the room over time. On a tall model like the 990T Style, that heat-retaining stone mass is paired with a raised combustion chamber, which strengthens both the visual presence of the stove and the overall sense of substance.
At 240 kg, this is a notably heavy stove, which reflects the added mass of the soapstone construction. The Bypass Function is also an important real-world feature, because smoke control during door opening is one of the practical details that most affects everyday usability.
Suitability
The Contura 990T Style is well suited to living rooms, open-plan interiors and design-led renovation projects where the stove is intended to anchor the room visually as well as provide effective heating. It is a strong choice for customers who want higher heat performance in a taller format, with the added warmth retention and material depth of soapstone.
