Best of luck to you. Hope you post a pic of the finished job. Btw, You are spot on with insulated doors. Seal, is the most important part and every combustible heat source needs air, creating draft etc.

I'm sure I'll be posting lots of pics, as this job moves forward. There's an incredible amount of knowledge in this forum, all things wood burning AND otherwise. I've received some great advice, here.

On insulation, I posted a sequel: https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/overhead-door-insulation-calculations.138654/
 
Here's the new doors Photoshop'd in place:

All existing hardware on this barn is black iron, so I just photoshopped the brass knob on that door as black. Overhead doors will probably receive black strap hinges and handles, as well.
