I put a permanent wall fan in my barn at the eaves. [...] I did not hard wire

My question is whether using #14 wires is up to code, when it's not
hard wired?

Yes. The Code basically stops at the receptacle. (This is an
oversimplification, but it gets the point across.)

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

the fire hazard is the same,,,,,,,,,,, bard fires are nasty..

really all extension cords and plugs should be fused for safety at the
maximum current capacity of the wire and device. I am amazed that
hasnt been made a law

if you like your current setup why not add a dedicated fuse or breaker
just for this item?
