Best thing about merlin stoves are the hinges which are nice and big the rest is not a patch on Clear view, Wood Warm or Charnwood stoves.
The baffle distorts and I have had to smash mine to get it out, my fire bricks fell apart the door lock wears into the body. I have seen them crack where the door handle rubs on stove body, they over priced in my opinion. Disappointed.
