Ideally you'd like to see a minimum stove temp of 350 or so. 500-600 is ideal during the cold months though.
Burning the stove hotter when the wood is first put in - this is when the temp of the firebox and stack is usually greatly lowered.....to burn off the moisture in the wood...and then ignite the gases. If a stove has to be turned down low, it is always best done during the later stages of the fire - the charcoal stages.
