The ellipse-shaped Contura 800 wood-burning stove has an elegant and delicate design with balanced proportions. It comes with several new features e.g. a patented automatic start function which shortens the heating process and quickly produces a pleasant display of flames. Another benefit is a booster mechanism that brings embers back to life. The handles are easy to grip and remain cool even when the stove is hot. Thanks to the innovative construction of the firebox, the stove offers improved heating efficiency.
