You guys with indoor stoves have outside fresh air vents?

We have a wood stove in the house and don't have any extra venting. It works very well too. There are times when I first build a fire I need to open a window slightly so it will draw and not smoke up the house, while the door is open on the stove. After the flue starts to warm it draws with that window shut. Most homes are not so air tight to not let some air in.
