Single or double wall pipe?
 
If single wall then 400 surface temperature at a medium to high burn is what I get on my NC30 too. I try to not go over about 450. Later in the burn it cools into the 300s. This is trying to run the stove hot and using a stout blower.
 
Highbeam is running much hotter than most of us with tube stoves. I would run mine up to about 450 then shut it back trying to keep it between 250 and 300 till it dies down.
 
Stovetop is holding pretty steady at 500 single wall is running about 325 with her shut down on low

Where is that in the burn? With my regency for the first few hours it would run about 300 on the stack and 600 to 700 on the top. How tall is your chimney?

And burning softwoods too. Not sure if that makes for higher flue temperatures since it maybe gasses off faster.

I try and hold 700 stove top temp and yes, run the noncat hard.

Yeah i am sure you cant hold temps nearly as long with softwoods
