The diverter allows the heat to get out of the stove before the gases rush up the flue. Incoming air is not part of the problem, only the outgoing air that leaves too quickly.
When the gas begins to burn in the stove the temp goes up which increases draft. That speeds up the airflow up the flue. The diverter reduces draft so the heat can be radiated to the room. It will make a huge difference.

Will running it without it hurt anything? I like a nice clean look to my flue and was wondering if I could get by with one of those "magic hats" to reclaim lost heat from the flue. The diverter is so ugly looking lol. Is one better than another?
