I have sold my house with a vent free gas log. The inspector says we
need a device on the damper to keep it open about 1/4-1/2". He says
it is something like a small c clamp.

You say you have sold the house: so the problem
(if there is one) is not your business but must be
solved by the new owner.

Most jurisdictions have a building code that includes
provision for ventilation (that apply only to newly
built houses and is not retroactive) and a fire safety
code (that may be retroactive i.e. apply to all
structures whenever built.)
