After much research i have finally decided to go with a Napoleon (broken link removed to http://www.napoleonfireplaces.com/products/epi3t-epi3c-wood-burning-insert/) wood insert. My only concern is where to place the electrical outlet for the blower. I don't want an electrical cord running across my hearth but I am not sure where to place the outlet because of the heat. Does anyone have any suggestions?
What about electric outlet for insert?!!

I'm not sure how far way it has to be by code but I just tuck mine behind the tool set and bucket and you don't really see it.

I thought that would be an issue also but this doesn't bother me....look closely. The rest is hidden behind that crap.

I didn't think about code, but I put mine in the floor of the firebox. There isn't much warmth in the firebox floor, so I'm not concerned there should be a problem and I have seen it done on other installs.
