The Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs must test stoves that are Defra approved to ensure they meet strict emissions standards. These tests are designed to ensure that stoves deliver maximum heat output with ultra low levels of smoke emissions. These low emissions are usually attained by ensuring that combustion gases are reburned during the second combustion. This is crucial because it allows the combustion to continue efficiently while reducing the amount of combustibles released into the atmosphere.

DEFRA exempted stoves are more environmentally friendly as they reduce the amount of combustibles that are part-burned and sent through the chimney. Defra exempted stoves are not required to close their air vents during the night to'sleep'.

The control of combustion air on wood burners that have been approved by Defra has been modified. This is usually done inside the firebox, or on the top of the stove. This modification prevents the user from closing the air control all the way, as it could cause the stove to be depleted of oxygen and cause it to release excessive amounts of smoke.
