Not the same thing per se, but same principle - you have big mass absorbing much more of the heat produced by burning, and then slowly glowing it off for another 12-24h. We have same in Czech republic and Slovakia, physics of it are simple and discovered probably millennia ago and people also install it in new homes (I know few newly built homes it massive stove like this). You can actually ie bake bread in it if construction allows it. My parents have another kind of stove - they can switch mode to a regime which doesn't burn the wood violently in 1h but rather lets it burn slowly for around 8-10h. The stove looks like generic small ones, but if you load it in the evening it still radiates a bit of heat in the morning from just few pieces of wood. They can easily make it through harsh winter with just this and moderate pile of wood, even if cut off form everything.
