Is it possible to put a wood stove in the place of a non-working old fireplace?

I own a home that was built in 1915 and the wood burning stove isnt working any longer. Can I put a more effecient iron stove in its place and still be able to use the original smoke stack? Any suggestions on websites for products like this?

I have an old double door wood stove that is metal. It is a beast, probably could hold 4-6 good size pieces of wood. My dad said filling it up may make it so hot it could actually melt the stove. Is this true?
