Question:

I am installing a woodstove connected to a new outside chimney constructed of “metalbestos” piping;  does this type of chimney need to be insulated in order for the woodstove to work properly?  I have received conflicting opinions as to whether I need to construct an insulated enclosure for this type of chimney.
