Sorry not sure if this's should go here or not but seing as I use my amnps with a smoke hollow electric why not. Anyways I load up my amnps and only seem to get 6 hours out of it where others r getting almost double. I have plenty of venting to it and it sits on top of a terra cotta saucer to act as a heat shield about 6 inches above my element. I don't use any water in the pan either. Any thoughts?

Some pellets burn quicker than others, but either way you should be getting more than that out of a full load. Try to reduce the airflow to it so it burns a bit slower.
 
Will give it a try. Makes sense cause this thing will put out a ton of smoke when it's going in my smoker and it also has a tendency to jump rows on me if I have it filled more than 2/3 high

gb, morning....   Try putting it below the heat source.... the heat may be causing it to burn too fast....  I had that happen in my smoker...  Dave
 
Problem is my element is at the bottom so I can't put t below. Anything I might be able to use for a heat shield come to mind?
