Hello Stephen, I am not sure I understand what you mean by "i have taken out the old fireplace and am left with solid blocks" what was there before? I would have a local Certified Chimney Sweep (www.csia.org, there you can look up by zip code to find one near you) take a first hand look at what you have.
