Landlord has installed... something.

you're lucky your landlord put anything in there; i would have simply yanked the old one out and told you to deal with the electric. btw, unless you plan on playing w/ vinyl chloride while playing with the stove, what does "poisoning" have to do with anything? My "advice" is to stop complaining, and use it; as the clearances to combustables are questionable, don't burn it too hot - use common sense.

Not an example of a 'good post'.

Agreed . . . not good advice in regards to the clearance comment . . .

Jeez - I would have gone and found a decent one on CL and maybe offered to split the install $ and effort and make sure it's done right. LL gets a newer stove in his house (which he can figure into taxes as an expense), you get wood heat, and it's done right - any chance that'd work in your case?
