1 hour. No trouble burning. Going a bit fast but that OK.

I like billowing smoke in a pellet smoker, havent had to much smoke out of mine yet in 2.5 years
 
Went up VFW for couple beers. Got back at the 3 hour mark and it was out. I just trying to get some extra smoke in the pellet pooper. Going to give it a go next time. I really want some of the wood chip smoke flavor. My buddy going to try all chips in the tube for his camp chef tonight.

I use wood chips exclusively in the tube. Only 1 to 1.5hr of smoke depending on how well you pack the tube, but the results are much better than 4 hours of pellet smoke.

My friend didn't have enough chips to fill so he mixed yesterday. He really happy how it turned out. The chips I got from Academy are more like shreds than chips. Going to try use them today.
 
Brian , I've been mixing them in the tube for a couple years . Works great for me in the MES . I like the fine shred / smaller chips for this . Gives more flavor and color .
