Have you thought of a blowtorch instead?

They have all the same problem you highlight about hot air guns. Like
they get hot and remain hot...

Just a thought - the hot air gun is a bit expensive to run as I
recall, ...

Almost certainly but a decent gas blow torch is going to be quite a
bit more vicious than a hot air gun. ie the hot air device is easier
to use as it won't scorch the paint/wood quite so quickly.

... and not so configurable in terms of what comes out at the sharp
end - with a blowtorch you can change the size of the flame.

Get a hot air gun with variable temeprature control. Mine has such a
control and is very handy from stripping paint to heat shrinking.
