when you say 1/3 left , that 1/3 is all black? if so you are good that is just the shell of a dead puck, no more smoke left,

Are you on a dedicated circut or are other items running on the same circut? Are you using an extension cord? If so, enough power may not be getting to the smoker & the burner plate can't heat up enough to burn the pucks properly.
