Was wondering if placing a woodstove in the basement wood supply. The advantages of having an interior chimney are many Look at the house of yore when people didn't have central heating You won't find many exterior chimneys there Better draft, less cooling of flue gas equalling less creosote, far less heat loss to outdoors and most of it instead radiated to the interior of the house and less deterioration due to weather. The stack was lower than my house and it would set off a smoke detector in my attic
The town elected to work with him and after he put in a 30' extension on his stack it became far less of an issue Obviously making your home tighter will reduce the smoke getting inside If you have a chimney and are not using it, that is logical thing to seal. If you are getting smoke in the house or you stove just don’t seem to be burning like should Check the door seal and latch for a tight fit Check the ash pan for shut tight and latched if all doors seals are good and latched
