Electrical Connection Question for Wood Insert

Brochure pictures seem to leave a few things out. Typically there is a cord outside. I dont know about other§ but Lopi and FPX offer inside wiring kits

You hardly notice it after a while.

Once the cord gets covered with ash, it will blend in with everything else.

That is just too funny.

Only because it's true.

I didn't care for the cord sticking out either so I ran some SO cord inside conduit and protected the conduit with a high heat sleeve.

I have to custom make a faceplate so it will be hidden once that's done.

I put an outlet inside the firebox.

with an application like yours, I don't see any problem with running cord behind the stove. The key to any electrical installs is accessibility.
As long as the connections are available to service you should be just fine with your install.

I have an insert and the cord runs out along side the face corner of the hearth. The problem that I find is the cord is just electrical cord. Where the cord lays is where I like to place my clean out tools right after use. The problem is the tools are hot and might melt the factory blower cable. What I need to do is remove the OEM cord and run armor bx or mc cable down to the basement for power. This way the wiring is protected from heat and any other form of damage.
