Need help identifying chimney

[Aparr9]

We bought this 1969 house with an existing chimney. I cannot find a label anywhere. .. It was used for a free standing appliance (brick wall + ceiling support box intact, just no stove when we purchased) not sure which type. They had covered top with thin sheet metal (pictured), I’m guessing because we get high winds off a farm field.

My gut says it’s probably not ok to use with newer stoves, but I don’t want to rip something out that is still good… and just needs someone come out inspect/clean it. On the other hand, I don’t want pay $300+ for someone to come out and tell me it’s useless if I can figure that out myself lol. I’ve google for hoursssss….and am stumped.

This is all new to me 😅. Any help appreciated!

Hard to tell from pics, is it galvanized steel or is it stainless steel?

Not sure but it looks in pretty poor shape

A couple measurements, inside and outside diameter. Take the cap off and take a pic of the locking tabs. Might put you on the right track.

And too short.

I’m not entirely sure - I believe outside is galvanized inside stainless.

Looks like triple wall. Not the best, but if it is intact with no rot holes, I don't see why you can't use it. As far as being short, looks close, but by just the photo, can't be positive. If you decide to replace, forego triple wall and go with double wall.

My concern is that it may be so old as to be lower temp rated, especially if air cooled triple wall. It does not look to be 2 ft higher than the roof within 10' ft. Not sure if it is 3ft above the roof. It may be.

Can you get into the attic and see if there are any tags on the pipe. Looks like air jet to me.

It’s lived its life either way. Doesn’t look tall enough and worn out… time to upgrade
