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.
