i have put a stove in a hearth before and it worked well, but
i would try and block the chimney the next time where the stove pipe was
not...
i live in a cabin much that you are describing,
there is enough venting so as not to have to open a
window...
you do not need a fan exchange...
what worked well was thick curtains on the windows and door
ways (hemp)
