Well, these guys seemed pretty knowledgeable about the type of fireplace I have,
There's no 'blanket' because there's no existing apparatus in the hearth. Just a big empty brick hole.
There is concern to the size of the chimney, but the new fireplace I selected has smaller liners (3" exhaust, 2" intake) to accomodate my style chimney.
As far as 'what kind' of permit to get, I thinking that since the contractor ONLY does fireplaces and has offered to go get the permit, he knows what to get.
Thanks!
