Can I use a Magic Heat heat exchanger on a Hitzer Model 710?

You can, but I would not. The stack temperature on your Hitzer won't be nearly as high as a wood stove, and the magic heat will be one more thing to check/clean.

Since the 710 is a flat bed stoker you'd be making it difficult for the hold fire/idle too.
