The answer is NO. Wood inserts require a heavy gauge,
6" (or bigger) Stainless Steel liner.
Most gas inserts use 3" Aluminum Liners.

So more questions, I have not taking the step of pulling it all out. But what are the odds of the damper already being removed for the gas insert? I can remove the gas line outside and cap it off about 6 feet away so I am not to worried about that.
