Hot Micore-Elk are you out there?

You reassured me the other day about the Micore 300 I am using but..............
The double wall pipe does not touch it, about 1" from it, and the micore is warm, really warm. Is this REALLY fine? Everyone I talk to says it is fine but it doesn't seem normal to have something that hot running up the wall. My new stove seems to be doing great by the way! Thanks for your help.

Here is what the manufacturer says

General Fire Hazards: Not expected to burn.
Extinguishing Media: Water or use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: None use normal procedures.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: None
Hazardous Combustion Products: Organic material in the panels can produce oxides of carbon.
Flash Point: None Known Auto Ignition: Not Applicable
Method Used: Not Applicable
Upper Flammable Limit (UFL): Not Applicable Flammability Classification:
Limited combustible
Lower Flammable Limit (LFL): Not Applicable Rate of Burning: Not Applicable

So, that means, "STOP WORRYING"?
p.s. my last name has elk in it.
