to do is buy a
 small
used truck.. 2nd get a woodstove.. We are also looking
into converting
 over
to a wood/oil furnace..A lot of the cost will be
double lining the
 chimney..
they say $2000 just for the steel liner and the BIG
GUY only knows what
 for
the woodstove pipe liner.. New at this.. so I don't
have a clue?
I know it has to be done.  We have insultated and
replaced all the
 windows
with very good low e ones.. we bought oil in April and
we still have A
 half
tank. The tank takes 250 gallons.

Dude, look into this web-site on chimney linings:

in particular this doublewall stainless piping:

we looked into doing this for adapting a woodstove
since we have two separate masonry chimneys for two
separate fireplaces (hey, the house was built that
way, not our idea).

i believe you could probably spend quite a bit less
than the $2,000 you mention, unless your chimney is
very tall.  that website also has flexible stainless
tubing if your chimney is oddly shaped or hard to tie
into...
