You guys are gonna get sick of hearing from me about this, but I'm pretty excited! 
Pictures are soon to come, as soon as I clean up my hearth area, I'm back to work tonight, and working 6 12 hours shift in a row, gotta love law enforcement!
Anywho, I fired up my stove today, it's about 55 out right now, old old house with aluminum windows, and my girlfriend gets cold easy, perfect excuse to burn!
This stove drafted, but not well, I was always smoking up the glass no matter what I did, and I couldn't get the stove to break 400 degrees.
Today it's burning like a dream. It's an older stove, I'm thinking mid 90's so it's not the best. But it toasted up my 2000 square foot house like it's going out of style!
The draft, is amazing. I light it, close the door and it takes off. Never did this before, I had to babysit. My glass has not smoked up, not at all! I'm really happy about that.
Anyway THANK you to everyone on this forum for showing my the light, or..the flame.
If your kicking around the idea of lining your chimney, DO IT. I know it's expensive but you will be much happier in the end.
Next project, line the 30 foot masonry chimney that goes to my finished basement. The hearth down there covers the entire wall. It's gonna be cool.
Bring on the freeze!
