Mayfair,...it's a heavy duty Hubbell electrical box. Go to an electrical supply house.
I looked in a Denny's Electric book and I see that they carry some Hubbel stuff, but not the part where you plug the cord in. All I can find is the box. Any ideas as to where to look? Any online places carry them?

Welcome aboard shack !!

I plug mine in once teh temp drops close to the freezing mark. Other than that, I don't bother.
