The Contura 996G Style wood burning stove is a tall 6 kW stove designed to combine strong heating performance with a broader and more contemporary view of the fire. With generous side glass, a raised firebox and a full glass door, it gives the flames more presence in the room while keeping the stove’s footprint practical.
This model is built to make the fire more visible from both the front and the sides. The tall firebox lifts the flames higher off the ground, improving the main sightline to the fire and helping the stove feel more prominent in the room. The generous side glass panels widen that flame view further, while the full glass door gives the front a cleaner, more modern appearance. Available in black or white, and with a choice of black painted aluminium top or black soapstone top, the stove can be better matched to a range of interior styles. A log compartment beneath the stove also adds practical storage without increasing the overall footprint.
In day-to-day use, the 996G 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 controls the start-up air through the grate so the stove can be lit with the door shut. RBF – Refuelling Boost Function helps revive embers before new logs are added, and the Silent Sliding Ashtray and cool-touch handle improve ease of use during regular operation.

Expert Insight
On Contura models, the G version denotes the full glass door, which gives the stove a more contemporary front and a more open visual frame around the fire. On the 996G Style, that works particularly well because the raised firebox and side glass already increase visibility, so the glazed door completes a much wider overall flame picture than a standard front-only design.
The Bypass Function is also a valuable feature in real-world use, as smoke control during door opening is one of the most important day-to-day details in stove operation. Accessories such as Powerstone may also be relevant where additional heat retention is wanted.
Suitability
The Contura 996G Style is well suited to living rooms, open-plan interiors and renovation projects where the stove needs to be both a practical heat source and a strong visual feature. It is a strong choice for customers who want higher heat performance in a tall stove with wide flame visibility and the cleaner appearance of a full glass door.
