Bear, thanks for the link to that thread. Your method sounds effective. And the heat gun approach seems pretty interesting. I have a heat gun, I could give that a try. Even with the heat turned off, my guess is just the airflow across the pellets would really help get them burning hot.
dgsmokes, I forgot to mention it before. When placing it in my MES, I had been putting the AMNPS to the left of the heater, as you did. But it might be able to get more airflow if it was located above the heater area? I haven't tried it, but it occurred to me the other day. I've heard people mention that, at least in the Gen1, the hot air tends to rise straight up, towards the vent. If that air was going around the tray, that might help.
With mine located to the left, using dried pellets, it would sometimes burn for maybe 4-6 hours, then go out. Once it went longer, over 9. That time I'd also raised the temperature, maybe that created additional, helpful airflow.
