There is simply no way 200W radiates through that insulation. You are dreaming. You are making things up to cling to your belief.

It has to cool from whatever ecat temperature corresponds to 2 kW back to the ecat temp corresponding to 600W before the water temperature starts to drop. Judging by the rate of heating and cooling in the little data we've been privy to, 5 minutes would not be nearly enough, regardless of your gas stove and pot nonsense experiments.
