Right now it is running strongly and still dropping in temp at about the
same rate it did on 110, roughly. I will let it run tonight, with these
things if you get 30 under ambient you are doing pretty well. I will see
what it does. I order a replacement fan for it today anyway, so I have to
pull the unit for that. That's always a good time to go through everything,
check how my inside rustproofing is doing, etc.

I don't want to have to start it on 110 to get it going on gas. Gotta get
past that.
