That is not a plug in part that looks like a power board which is not recommended to be used on high power devices like a fireplace . I suggest the fire place should be plugged directly into a power wall outlet .that can handle the current requirements. usually 15 amps max via a fuse or circuit breaker in the switch board of the power feed. .

Did you have other devices plugged into it as well
and before you ask me !
yes I have done this to a power board myself but with an arc welder and other devices plugged into a power board at the same time.

SOURCE: smoke coming in my fireplace

What's probably happening is the low air pressure in your condo, a typical situation with a basement condo, is always drawing air down your chimney, I guess through the badly closing fireplace damper. When there is smoke on the roof from the condo fireplace above, some of that is drawn down your chimney along with the air. The simplest solution is to add enough outside air to your condo so that your chimney is not acting as an air intake.

FEBO fireplace, GW2078 anyone have a website or number????

Not a solution, but a problem. I bought a 2078 from Big Lots 2mo. ago. Friday night, nothing. Checked plugin breakers, etc. Finally disaasmblrd the entire thing and checked every led,circuit, etc, and found nothing out of place or burnt. Now What? Taking it back to Big Lots today in a million pieces. Hope they can take a joke. Really like the outfit but need it to work.
