Burping the baby had no effect. Flipped it upside down yesterday as
you suggested after lunch and then righted it this morning and plugged
it in to 110v.

No cool inside, or hot outside. Been about two hours.

I think I'll disassemble the burner next and see if there is any thing
obvious preventing that from working on propane, like a clogged
burner. Starting to care less and less about this Dometic . . .
