Soot and creosote from the wood stove can plug the flue up tight.The oil burner ex haust is under pressure and can force smoke back into the house.The oilburner can affect the draft when idle.If you are going to burn wood put in another chimney.Do not run a chimney on the outside of the building or cover up the chimney to make it look nice.A cold chimney makes a lot of creosote and will drive you nuts trying to keep it clean.Building a masonary chimney is hard work,it will cost you to have it done.Just spent 300.00 for material to build a 16 foot chimney to replace an old one in my kitchen.With oil prices going up you should be set up to burn wood.I paid 87 cents per gallon 10 years ago, last oil I bought was 2.28 per gallon.If oil goes to 3.00 it will take ALL of my ss check in jan feb.It has been 2.75 at times here.I cut my own wood.Its hard dangerous work But beats freezing to death.There is a severe propane shortage in Maine now.The honeymoon is over, no more 15 cent oil or 25 cent gas....Biodiesel is still too expensive to use for home heating.
