Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am confused. I am putting up a non combustible wall to reduce clearances. Is the outlet in the wall going to be ok for the blower power?

Why wouldn't it, do not understand what you are getting at.
 
So many new people on here lately I keep forgetting to welcome the new comers, welcome KYTim.
 
It depends on the location. Usually the outlet is low enough so this it is not an issue. But to be sure, tell us a bit more about the overall installation, starting with the stove, the desired clearances and how the wall will be constructed.
 
Welcome. Yes, we definitely need to know about the appliance, the intended location, the planned flue, and this non-combustible wall you're planning. Pictures are always helpful. Rick

I assume OP is concerned about the plastic face plate and plastic insulation on electrical wiring close to the stove, plus the heat conduction of the metal outlet box (or melting point if using a plastic box).
