I just Googled "Merlin3" and found this website. I thought I'd offer the info I had. I have both a sales brochure for the Merlin 3 and a manual (both English and French!) if any one is interested. Attached is a cross section of the airflow both into and out of the firebox with cross section through the center and edge of the stove. Top view supposedly shows how the air enters and is heated and the bottom view shows how it exhausts to the chimney. It also shows how the baffle can be pushed up and then dropped down. I believe Helvetia is long out of business.

Where does this stove draw air from? I have 3 small holes in front of box and then the three or four larger oval vents beneath them. I am not sure where those larger vents go as the run under the stove to the back somewhere.
Mike- are there any vents along the back of the box? I wonder if those added bricks in mine are somehow stifling airflow.
Thanks.
