Yes, you're probably dead already..................:huh:
Let me ask you this how many people do you know that have died of "asbestos cancer"??? Likely not one other than if you watch local TV mid day and get bombarded with adds from ambulance chasing lawyers.
The white dust is likely nothing more than ash from the gas burning, as well as flakes of whatever the flue is made of (likely masonry).
My Dad worked with asbestos for 10 + years, 40 hours a week, rebuilding refractory burners in a coal burning plant. Didn't have any known effect on him, or any of his co-workers, most of which are in their 80's now...........
