Contura 856G Style Wood Burning Stove
The Contura 856G is a striking tall, oval woodburning stove featuring additional side glass, giving you an exceptional view of the flames from several angles around the room. Its elegant design makes it particularly well suited to a central or asymmetric position, creating a real focal point within the room. Please note that the 856G is not suitable for a corner installation.
The stove is available with a practical log store compartment, or you can choose an optional cupboard door to discreetly hide away your stove tools, firelighters and accessories. Its single-lever control makes the stove highly controllable and simple to operate, while the powerful airwash system helps keep the glass clear during normal use. Tertiary air technology provides a hotter, cleaner burn, helping to improve combustion, reduce emissions and maximise the efficiency of your fire.
Combining distinctive Scandinavian styling with practical features and efficient performance, the Contura 856G is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a contemporary stove that looks impressive from almost every angle.

Deciding whether Contura 856G Style Wood Burning Stove fits the brief
The 856G Style suits rooms where the fire is viewed from more than one seating position, because the side glass extends the flame view around the stove.
Its tall, oval shape works particularly well in a central or asymmetric position where the appliance can become a focal point.
