Where we really take the most heat on every burn is at the top,

the ND Estufa Finca and we are working in a humid tropical coastal
environment. It is eating our stoves for lunch!

While I don't know everything, I have a lot of strange tidbits.
Headers (for IC engines in cars) generally get to high temperatures (in
excess of 600° C IIRC) and there are very high temperature paints good
for 1,300-2,000° F (roughly 700-1,100° C) or more. See
http://www.vhtpaint.com/products/flameproof/ for one example. There are
also stove paints which survive cast iron stoves at red heat.
Perhaps one of these manufacturers can help.
