i have a wood burning insert now. I wanna remove it and install pellet insert(which I haven't bought yet). I have a mosonary chimney with a stainless steel insert. Can I just vent the pellet insert there ?
 
Probably not. Your best confirmation would be to look at a couple of different models
& their manuals to see what the venting requirements are.
