I believe this misses the caveat, "All other things being equal."

If we compare a three stone fire to a good Rocket stove, more feedstock 
will be needed to generate a similar heat output, regardless of the char 
usage.  If char (i.e. carbon) is not burned, the amount of feedstock 
will necessarily be increased, but that may not be an important 
consideration.
