no you cant you idiot....i have a huge fisher woodburning stove over 20 years old there is no temperature gauge nor do i require one.. In winter i have had it glowing cherry red constantly..there is even times i use ceder with a naturally occurring wood alcohol created through fermentation that is ike gas soaked wood...never has and never will my stove melt !!...the only danger is the heat from the stove igniting something to close to it on fire...end of story
i see you like dancing with the devil. Read the owners manual, this is just asking to be blown up, or at the least catch fire. I grew up with wood stoves, and bar-b-que pits. Bon fires in mid summer, and camp fires all year round. My father was a rancher, so while living in the city we still spent a ton of time in the forests and cabins. He didn't require a temperature gauge either, but that's because he could tell the temperature of something just by how far he could place his hand, or how long he could touch it, without it hurting (campers skill) and was usually within 10 degrees. That's probably one of the reasons i have always loved fire, it was life to me, the source of food and heat since i was a child. Grow up on a ranch or with a rancher and you learn a lot, like how to forge steel horseshoes using a brick oven.
