Do all EPA wood burning fireplaces need outside air for combustion?
I want to install one, but it would not be on an outside wall. Do they make models that don’t have to have outside air?

I believe if you check around, you will find some that have a annual space in the vent stack for the combustion air. This lets you get your combustion air from the same hole in the wall or roof that the vent goes through.

No, they do not. However, the codes in some areas require that you have an outside fresh air vent that attaches to the bottom of the stove.
