The glass will no doubt be the hottest. It is tough on an insert but with an IR gun you can test for the hottest spot (other than the glass). Most like to see 600-700 tops but some will say 800 is okay.
IR guns are useless on glass or any other reflective surface. If you check the temp with an IR gun on the front of an insert figure that you are reading a hundred to a hundred and fifty degrees less than the top plate of the stove.
