We have a big Lopi wood stove in our living room and use it every winter. Our main house heat is via Water Furnace ground source heat pump which provides heat to the thermal floor and forced air via thermostat set at 68.
The wood stove is for “trim” when it really gets cold. The chimney sweep visits every two years.

Mine is a Country stove that is an insert in a fireplace. I have corriguated stainless inside the chimney and double walled insulated stainless on the outside. The insulated part really stops the creosote from condensing, but the spark arrestor gets buildup that can block things up and then I get smoke when I open the door and it does not burn well. I usually have to go up with a wire brush twice a year to clean off the spark arrestor.
