A Defra approved multi fuel stove is usually able to burn all authorised fuels, including wood, without producing excessive amounts of smoke. The combustion technology in the stove that is Defra-approved is designed to limit the amount of air that the stove can be devoid of during the combustion process. Normally this is achieved by using specially designed baffles in the stove that redirect airflow and prevent it from leaving the stove.

The best DEFRA-approved stoves will have a feature called "clean burn" that permits combustibles that are part-burned, such as soot and ash to be combusted and released through the chimney, not into the room. This feature prevents combustibles that were partially burned from entering the stove again and causing a buildup that would eventually cause black smoke.

If you have a stove that is exempt from Defra and you are allowed to burn the types of fuels listed in the Clean Air Act. This is especially true when you're burning damp wood or any other fuel that is wet which produces smoke that is unsanitary. Go through the manual for your stove or with your provider to find out which fuels are allowed in your stove.
