Default Fireplace

The integrity of the chimney may have been adversely affected during
the retrofit or during the passage of time. I would definitely have a
qualified chimney expert (see yellow pages) do an evaluation.

Additionally, the heat from the wood burning may be too much for the
new gas tubing. Be very careful.

Hope this helps,
