shure, why not? the liner inside the flue which is inside the chase is well away from any finished materials.

Remember if using combustibles to build the chase it will require a 2" clearance. Of course that depends on the AHJ. NFPA211-21 "Minimum air space 7.3.1.5.1 Clearances shall be based on good engineering practice and acceptable to the AHJ."
