difference between b vent...and a vent open up the centers...b vent in hollow air passages cools and drop the clearness problems for most houses...a vent is a special packing directs heat up and out... so what u can do...if u have ur wood burner in the same flue passage ur screwed..but can change tank go direct vent or power vent.
if its a 2 chase chimney then ur okay. but if any gas tech walks in and sees that he'll shut ya down...can be very unsafe carbon monoxide can be made...

Wood stove needs its own chimney.

Have you called any contractors yet to see what your chimney needs.
