Hey guys, I'm currently running a summers heat woodstove. Are there any benefits to venting outside air into the back of the woodstove for the supply?? I live in an old house.

The stove pulls cold dry air in through the line instead of pulling it in through your old windows. Warmer house with higher humidity.
 
I don't think you need it in an old leaky house.
