it will be ok to use the exsting chimney as long as it has been tested for soundness by a gas corgi engineer. this would have been done using smoke pellets. but any new instalation into a chimney would be better to have a flue liner which will run from your new fire all the way up to the top of the chimney with a terminal at the end...
