Why is the stack temperature so high?

I felt the heat from the flue while 5 feet away. After inserting my analyzer, the stack temperature read 600 degrees F. What causes high flue gas temperature?

    Over firing, dirty boiler, inefficient burner with too much excess air, air leaks into boiler through leaking door gaskets, between section etc (if an old neg draft boiler)
