Fireplaces lose heat all the time, not just when in use. You would do better to get a pellet stove. They can be right up to a corner or wall and do not need any special preparation to put one in. Hope this helps. They are sold at home improvement stores like Menards, Lowes, etc
Hi Marie,
Ventless fireplaces fueled by gas or propane rely on indoor air for combustion, and they exhaust a low level of their combustion gases into the room in which they're located. A chimney or flue isn't necessary. ... In fact, ventless fireplaces generally are just for aesthetics and supplemental space heating.
Always open a window when using it

Debker offers good advice. I will add that moisture (a by product of any combustion) can be an issue, especially in a small area.
