Thanks all.

only thing other than stainless liner is the old school chimney tile.
do you have a basement? if so does the chimney run through it? if it does do you have a soot door at the bottom?
If the answer is yes to any of these you need to find out if the liner has a cap at the bottom.
fireplace or stove insert?
