You note that "all heaters are 100% efficient. " This is partially true - all heaters convert virtually all input energy into heat, thus achieving near 100% efficiency. However, if that heat simply rises to the ceiling by convection it doesn't do much to warm the room or its occupants. Radiant heat flows directly from the source to people and objects in the room, and is much more effective as noted in Wikipedia: The internal air temperature for radiant heated buildings may be lower than for a conventionally heated building to achieve the same level of body comfort, when adjusted so the perceived temperature is actually the same.

This system appears to be a more effective way to heat than an open candle flame, because the flame heats the clay pot, which radiates the heat to the room.
