Yes, the IRC 1005.1 is what I was referring to. I thought all wood burning factory built fireplaces were required to have an external source of combustion air. However, this one did not. Either we were not under 2003 IRC in 2005 or the AHJ didn't see it in the house. Hard telling here.

Are other inspectors seeing new factory built wood burning fireplaces with no external combustion air?
