That'll get the chimney nice and clean! I bet you're glad that 30NC is a steel stove and not cast iron right about now.
Had my stove around 750 a few times this season, it takes it in stride and I've never heard it make so much as a creak at those temps. A little intimidating when you walk into the stove room and it's almost 100F in there....

Cast iron manifolds regularly get this hot.Our little 602 has visited this territory more than once. Usually due to a space out by yours truly.
Like 45 out..sunny.
Stove has seen no new wood since 10 last night.
Heating off coals and it's 72 in the house.
Prolly no new wood till it starts to get dark.
Stove top at about 300.

I was under the impression that high temps like that are more likely to give you a crack or a warp on a cast iron stove vs a steel stove, and that's based on no actual experience of my own. Suppose that most of that boils down to thickness and proper engineering of the cast just as much as the material though.
She had a little bit to go before pegging out the temp gauge. Wonder if that would "decalibrate" the gauge 
. Maybe I'll find out one day.
6 months ago I probably would have flipped out seeing that reading. Now it was like..... "whoaaa nelly, she's gonna get warm in here (insert chuckle), then I turned on the blower and enjoyed the extra heat

At 1125 degrees the paint on the thermo goes "poof". Don't ask...
I would not want a stove that hot...
The stove ended up at 1400 before it started back down. It lived. The thermo did not. Happened with my old stove when a weld popped with a full fresh 4 cf load in it. As I sweated bullets I was taking the readings with the IR.
I would totally panic if mine got that hot.
Well not to long ago i would panic when the stove got to 700 now i just sit back and enjoy.
Who said I didn't?
Tried to plug the leak and the exact same thing happened the next night when the patch failed. My 21 year burning 650 pound buddy went out of the house the next day and the 30-NC was ordered.This was its next to the last load.

Somehow I forgot to latch the door of our furnace after loading, and went to bed. The wife let me know this morning when she loaded the furnace after getting off of work. The dumbest thing I've ever done, that's for sure. The large blower probably saved my butt. I don't even want to know how hot things were.
Looks like it got retired with a HOT fire.Who said I didn't?
