You might want to shoot your IR thermometer at the wall outlet to the left of the stove to check the temperature there, as well. I wouldn't want that plastic cover and the wiring inside the receptacle box to be 180F. At that high a temperature I don't think it would take much of a draw on the outlet to throw the breaker for that circuit. For example, running a vacuum cleaner out of that outlet.

The wall outlet never gets hot, it stays around 98 - 110

Wall outlet is probably leaking outside air = cooling it.

I think a nice tiled heat shield would dress up your little stove corner. I sure love mine and it would give you peace of mind.
