Are there quality wood stove inserts that have a left side blower power cord and a right to left opening door? I was considering getting a Buck 81, but realized the cord was on the right side and my outlet is on the left. The fireplace is two separate fire boxes that create a triangle shape so there's nowhere to install an additional recepticle. (Those fire logs were there years ago thanks to real estate agent - they are long gone). Attempting to increase my knowledge of wood inserts and stoves is actually making the decision harder as I'm now wondering if I should consider some other types of options for more heat output. The level this would be on is about 2000 feet of mostly open concept space. I'm not looking to increase the size of my hearth footprint.

All helpful suggestions are welcome.

The 81 is about the right size though It might be harder to relocate the cord because the ashpan is on the left. If it can't be switched, there are other large inserts that offer the option for the cord to be wired to the left or right side. In non-catalytic there are the big Osburn 3500 and the Pacific Energy Summit inserts.

If you don’t mind taking th blower off and unplugging some connections inside the Drolet/osborn #### line of insert the cord and be swapped. Mine was pros left and unneeded a right.
