Thank you guys so much!!! Is there a recommended insert style. I found a kit on Northern tools that included the flue liner for about 1500 and the stove and necessary parts and accessories
That is going to be a pretty low quality stove and liner. It also probably does not include the insulation for the liner either.
 
A fireplace is the least efficient way to try to turn wood into home heat. So if you are wanting to heat some of your home with your wood, don't do a fireplace. Do an insert. If it's for ambiance only, a fireplace might be a consideration.
