In the cold I target 650 700 is ok but I would rather be 50 degrees due to hot spots elswhere on the stove surface.

it will make a difference of how your thermometer reads. Thinner steel is going to read hotter then thicker steel of the same size fire.

Thats one hot stove if the top is showing 700° with a 3/8" thick top. I'm sure the stove body wont have any problem , its going to be a solid body. The one thing to watch is the internals of the stove ............ its a noncat with burn tubes correct ?

Yep , I just checked the web site , non-cat with stainless steel burn tubes. Stove should be fine , just keep an eye on the burn tubes as they may warp over time running the stove around max output. Do your proper maintenance to the stove and make sure the burn tube system is tight and in good shape and you shouldn't have a problem.

I'm surprised there was any smoke around with the winds you folks have been having. Nasty and cold.

Earthharverster,
It's was cold here last night too -4F. This morning after sleeping in a little later than I should have it was 65F when I woke up, ran the stove at 800 for the better part of the morning at one point it was 850...I think 700 is fine.
