Unless anyone knows where there is a pet dragon for sale though. In that case, yes, I will buy it and gladly "feed the bad guy".

I am pretty sure it means how to feed fuel to the heating system, but to me too, there are no "bad guys" in terms of heating systems. When it is -20 degrees out, and blowing 20 mph, no heating system keeping me and family members warm is "bad". There may be better ways to heat based on ease of use, longevity and cost, and a search on google just might bring them here in search of better options.
So my suggestion is to rename the metric because its best to steer away from negative connotations.

Will a xxxx system work when the power goes out? Give me sources and examples.
Rocket Mass Heater
No, a Rocket Mass Heater system will not work when the power goes out. This is because a Rocket Mass Heater requires electricity to run the fan and pump, which are necessary to maintain the combustion process. Without the fan and pump, the system cannot produce the necessary heat.
