Both those types of heat sources loose a lot of the heat to the outdoors. A rocket mass heater on the other hand burns all of the wood so there is no smoke and the hot air from the burning is sent into a built mass of cob which holds the heat for hours and heats the home. This method of using wood to heat with is a better way because it cuts way down on how much wood you would actually burn through in a winter.
