Would a bad millivolt thermopile allow the burner to light and the burner go out after several minutes?

I don't believe so. Most likely you are tripping a limit switch.

How do millivolt gas valves work?
A millivolt gas valve is used in a standing pilot type of appliance. In a normal application there are actually 2 valves in one. one valve controls gas flow to the pilot and the other part of the valve controls gas flow to the burner. The pilot burns on a device or devices that produce a small amount of electricity ( millivoltage ) some valves accomplish this with a thermopile producing energy for the pilot and the burner portions of the valve. others use a thermocouple to produce energy to keep the pilot open and a thermopile to produce the energy for the burner side of the valve. In a typical gas fireplace valve the pilot runs on 30mV ( millivolts ) and the burner runs on 500 mV. it sounds like alot but it's only .5volts. This energy creates an electromagnet that pulls the valve open against a spring. That is the fail safe and how the pilot safety function works, if for any reason the energy isn't present, the spring snaps the valve shut shutting off the gas. Millivolt valves are NOT field serviceable. They should never be disassembled as they will leak. Most issues with millivolt valves are caused by a simple lack of manufacturer recommended service and maintenance.

How does cold water turn in to hot water?
Heat it. Place a 300ml sample of the cold water in a 500ml beaker and place the beaker on a retort stand about six inches above a standard laboratory Bunsen burner. Turn on the gas and ignite the Bunsen burner. Allow the flame to heat the water for several minutes. When small bubbles begin to form in the water, shut off the Bunsen burner and measure the temperature.
Is the orfice on a Dearborn heater?
Behind a hex cap next to the main burner valve.this is wrong...the orifice is located inside the burner you have to disassemble the valve from the burner in other words you have to take the whole thing apart takes about 15 minutes on a bad day
