forgot to mention that silver liner was attached to a freestanding gas stove that has since been removed along with the gas line.
can anyone help with this? it looks like i might have to cut the chimney pipe from above the existing connection to the fireplace to make a safe connection to a free standing wood stove.
You will need an insulated liner what you have is a Zero clearance fireplace and their chimneys are not rated to take the temps required for a wood stove.

Use your old ZC chimney as a chase and run SS insulated pipe from your stove to the top of the chimney, with proper termination at the top.
Thanks so much guys, appreciate it.
Am I going to have to get a liner kit with a new chimney cap included to install, or can I use my old one? I probably need a new one.

Most often parts of you current cap will need to be used along with a new liner cap, to utilize the air cooling of the chimney pipe.
