don't let the corrosion put you off, just give it a lick of black paint and stand in the corner flipping a coin with a matchstick in your mouth
Welcome to the forum. Although you can post in any forum, the USA forum is here in case of local regs or laws
as already stated, it is illegal to fit a gas appliance without the manufacturers installation instructions available.
The heat lost from this type of appliance would be about 80 percent up the chimney.
the size of permanent ventilation required would mean the room would be cold when the fire was not in use, if the fire was used it would then be drawing in more air through the vent,
it is a visual thing only that would have a negative affect on the room.
I think the best advice if you want to keep it is remove the gubbings, clean it up, black lead it, fit a couple of nice candles to provide the visual effect.
if the room is not sufficiently heated, look at improving the radiators or get an electric blow heater, but don't mistake what you have as a heat source.
