Yup, those stoves are among the most efficient means of heating ever devised. They heat differently than one might expect though as they give off infra-red heat. There is actually a movement to bring them back as heating with wood is more green than heating with oil, gas or electricity. This is because decomposing wood in fire releases the same amount of CO2 that decomposing wood rotting in the forest does and wood is a renewable resource. There was a good article on them a while back on the "Low Tech Magazine" website, if memory serves.
