Smoke outlet hotter than stove, normal?

[Jotel me this]

The center of the stove top is 500F.
The smoke outlet (where the chimney connects) is 600F.

Is this normal??

Stove top temps can vary over a hundred degrees at a spot just a few inches over, especially if the fire is burning more strongly on one side.

In this case it may be due to thickness of the flue collar, if it's thinner than the stove top it will heat more quickly.

Hard to tell from that diagram but can you even get a read on the actual stove top?

I got my highest IR reading on the stovetop directly at the chimney collar weld. Id say normal.

Yes it is in direct connection to the firebox.
