Idea: Woodstove Combustion Air Woodbox
Here is my plan. Combination firewood bin and outside air source in the form of a large drawer in the outside wall next to the stove. With the drawer pulled to the inside, it looks like a firewood box. To load with firewood, pull the drawer to the outside of the house, load, and slide back in (no tromping in and out with armloads of firewood and snowy boots). Drawer can be opened as much as needed for combustion air (even 1/2" would be plenty). Closed the drawer would have weatherstripping to seal the opening. Plan on using sashlock hardware for security, when stove not in use. 
Cheers,
Bass

Multi directional drawer slides (metal)? or would you build wood slides? I had the same idea using a closet next to the fireplace. loading only, ext door/interior door, i was planning on stocking the closet, so i was going to line it in metal to deal help deal with insect, maybe a little awning over the ext of the drawer, just to keep direct winswept rain out---Its a cool idea, GMOD
PS. drawer face obviously has to be inset, drawer face must be able to compress the weather stripping and get by..

Gene,
I'm thinking of a window seat bench with a fold up seat to get to the wood in the drawer. The ends of the bench would allow mounting of drawer slides.
Still at the brainstorming phase.
Cheers,
Bass

Got it, I was picturing it as cabinetry flanking the wood stove(creating the depth), with a drawer on the bottom that would open to the outside.> So your window seat would be out side creating the drawer depth, and the drawer face would be flush with the int of the ext wall GMOD, keep us posted, i love a project of this nature.

I could draw that if someone puckered up and went all rock star on tuba.

I mislead you... the seat is a bump in, rather than a bump out. I'm thinking heavy duty guides, side mounted and maybe doubled up.
I hope I get some free time and some good weather at the same time, before winter.
Later,
Bass

If you build it, they will burn.
