That material should just be a silica sand and is not harmful.

If the existing pipe is a Class A pipe approved for venting a wood stove, you could do that but most factory-built fireplaces require you to vent using their specific pipe. If that is the case, then that pipe is not approved for venting a wood stove.

Mickey M. from Beaverton Or asked:
I've converted my wood fireplace to gas to comply with NW Gas. The existing metal chimney, installed in 1983 when the house was built, is approximately 9 feet tall. I'm having the roof re-shingled soon and would like to update the gas chimney beforehand. Could you please provide some guidance?

Updating the venting for a converted gas appliance is a critical safety matter, and we cannot recommend specific parts without precise details about your installation. Venting requirements are dictated by the specific gas appliance and its manufacturer's installation manual, not solely by the existing pipe diameter or the presence of a metal chimney. In most cases, an existing wood-burning chimney cannot be directly used for a gas unit, so the correct components depend entirely on the gas appliance you currently have. To provide you with safe and accurate advice, please reply with the following information: - The make and model number of the gas appliance installed (e.g., gas insert, built-in gas fireplace, or gas log set). - Whether the original fireplace is a site-built masonry (brick) fireplace or a prefabricated manufactured firebox. - A brief description of the vent run, including the total height above the appliance, whether it terminates vertically through the roof, and the roof pitch. In the meantime, please note two important safety points: If a dedicated gas unit was installed, the venting *must* match the components specified in its model's documentation. Typically, an older wood-burning chimney needs to be replaced with the vent system designed for the new gas unit. If you have a vent-free style gas log set, this type is only permitted in specific listed fireplaces. Since an improperly matched vent system can pose a risk of carbon monoxide, we need to confirm the exact model before recommending any parts. You can explore different venting types in our guide, How to Choose the Right Venting for Your Fireplace, and browse available products on our Chimney Products page. Once we have your make and model details, we can verify the listed venting requirements for your unit and prepare an itemized estimate using our Chimney Pipe Quote Form.

Robby B. from Temple, TX 76504, USA asked:
We need to move a chimney out of a valley to prevent water damming and roof leaks. Can we use a pair of 30 or 45-degree off-sets to reposition the chimney? Can you help us identify the corresponding pipes needed for this modification?

Hello,To achieve this, you will need the H9199 adapter, and then transition to our 8DM pipe. Here is a link to the 30-degree elbow kit: [30-degree elbow kit](https://www.efireplacestore.com/fsd-30e-8dm.html). We can certainly help you find the corresponding Superior 8DM pipe and the necessary 30-degree offset kits. Please let us know if you would like assistance in locating these components.
