Only 300 degree but blue flame?

As short video attached, why does the logs produce blue flames when the stove top temperature is only 300°F?
Isn’t blue flame supposed to require very high temperatures?

The wood is still outgassing into a very hot fire. Some very dense hardwoods do this. It's like burning coal.

Got it, thank you!

In other words, blue flame does in first order not have to do with temperature, is the chemical composition of the gases that are burning that make it blue. (No carbon particles that produce yellow flame.)

You're in the coaling stage, so the stove is not very hot anymore
