Hi I'm new here but read many of the post. Bought house with a 70s heatilator with a 9'' I'd 14' od metalbestos pipe going up though the roof with flashing and cap. I'm scraping the heatilator framing and all. Putting in a country comfort cc1000 free standing air tight stove that is U.L listed. Question is can leave a portion of the old metalbestos I.e from the inside ceiling thru the roof. Thought was to use a 6'' to 9'' reducer near the ceiling running black single pipe wall down to the stove. Or to just run the 6 inch thru the old metalbesto pipe.

The pipe is air cooled and not rated for a wood stove. The liner trick might work but would need to be stainless steel. Personally I would replace it with new class A pipe.
I have see people pull the inner liner and run new class a up through the old outer shell. As long as you can support the class a properly like this it is fine to do it that way. But no you cant use the old chimney to vent your new stove.
