it should be: ok it will self stove when u light up
i use smoothrite enamel on engine blocks. paint exhausts ect no probs .try some on an old scrap of metal and heat it up gently then full blast. if its black it wont discolourTemperature basically!
Outisde of an engine block will typically be about 100Deg Centigrade about the same as the water jacket. Exception is the ehaust area were you could expect higher temps >500Deg C. These typically require higher temperature paints.
You can expect a wood burning stove to glow steel to cherry red or about 1500 Deg Centigrade.

[A well designed stove should not heat the outside to red unless the walls are very thin. Our stove in the house is made of 1/2" boiler plate and gets hot but not hot enough to burn the paint off. Anything indoors burning at that temperature is dangerous and wasteful. A few gentle fires at first is recommended to burn a stove in and cure the paint. I use matt black exhaust paint to touch ours up when it gets marked and it works well.
