This idea would take some work but you could knock a whole in the front of your fireplace up higher so you could use any of the free standing stoves. The hole neatly done would give you access to your stainless steel flue liner coming down your chimney. There are decorative rings to trim out the pipe going into the hole you made. Then you would have to make a decorative close off plate to close off the original fire place opening. The stove can sit out front on that brick thats laid out in front of your fireplace. I think you would enjoy a setup like that much more in my opinion , if you can do that kind of work. Just an idea maybe you dont want to get into it that much but you do need a stainless flue liner for safety.
Kind of like this but your set up isnt in a corner but this shows how the pipe goes in with a trim out ring around the pipe.
