The thing is, if you seal the house and do not provide combustion air, the start-ups will be smokey, (the diesely goodness you mentioned), but, when it shuts off, as the stove and flue cool, you might get combustion gasses coming back down the flue. Not something most householders appreciate.

And don't forget to add, as an additional safety measure, a few carbon monoxide detectors -- especially important after you do anything to make your house tighter.
