Help please for me also!     I just uncovered the same problem (thought
when I got it to light the problems were over.

On mine, with 110v or 12v, cooling is adequate and the box eventually gets
down to ~30 deg F.
With Gas, the lowest it gets is ~50F (outside at 70).   This applies either
stopped on the level or in motion (12v or gas).   I'm going to take it out
and see if the orifice is restricted, but the burner sounds like it's doing
its thing when it's on, and there is heat.

Anyone have any ideas?
