kellyrie said:I am having a Quadrafire insert installed today into my existing masonry fireplace. How to they plug it in? Will the cord come out the front?
I know I should've asked prior to this, but I just thought of it!
kellyrie said:Yeah it is on the wall next to th fire place but it is about 4 or 5 feet a way when you take into consideration the depth of the masonry. But is it going to come out the front? Guess I don't see any other way for it to go - but that must look dumb...
Shane said:I think this discussion came up before, and it's going to be up to your individual inspector, but our inspector used to let us sub an electrician to put an outlet on the back wall of the fireplace with pellet stoves and gas inserts. In the previous discussion the mere idea was run out of town on a rail, but in ten years I've yet to see a problem.
kellyrie said:They did say when they come back to finish it they can feed the cord down the back of it because there was some sort of trap down the chimney in the basement (sorry I don't remember what they called it.) and then I can plug it in in the basement.

That violates electrical code, FYI.
