Not having an OAK isn't the problem you make it seem. I can't have one since my stove doesn't sit on an outside wall (and no crawl space underneath), and the only time I've got issues was when I ran the kitchen vent and forgot to open a window.
Unless your home is super tight, the air drawn inside by the stove is a lot less of what even a light breeze would bring in. We've had an energy evaluation done a while ago and I was suprised of all the places air gets drawn into the house.
True, we never have issues with low humidity inside, it never really goes below 50% or so, summer and winter.
