Jon, if you're using it for stop and go driving the boiler cools off
fairly quickly when you stop the engine and then takes maybe twenty
minutes after you start the engine to begin cooling again.  I think
the manual actually says that you should see evidence of cooling
within a couple of hours after starting, but it's actually faster
than that.  Also it will never work as well when you're moving
(whether using DC or gas) because the whole thing works by gravity
and when you start shaking it around it doesn't work as well.

Yours,
David
