Maybe it's just Friday night and I've worked too long all week, been up too late tonight and drank too much beer but.... are you saying that you are going to try to intentionally backdraft the wood stove exhaust into it's own intake? Can't you just seal up the air leaks (and thank the weatherization Gods for showing them to you) and then direct vent the stove in a more conventional way?

EDIT

Make sure you have CO detectors about. Where I live, doing that kind of thing with children in the house will get them taken from you by the DSS (if not the hospital or the grim reaper) for neglect or abuse.
