A full basket of charcoal will get you 7-8 hrs with the lid closed. With the lid off for grilling it is considerably less.
Ribs are about a 3 to 4 hour cook. Not a true smoker, but amazing results in half the time....

I've never had to add charcoal to mine during a cook. Usually, a big roast will finish in 2-3 hours. You can control heat with airflow, both in and out.
9:30 this morning.

Two pork bellies. One is a Peach, ginger, teriyaki brine. The second is my own dry rub.
See ya in about 4hrs.
What temp are you reaching for, Pook?
The grocery store up here has them in 70lb boxes. I split a box with a local bacon maker.
This was the first smoke in the new smoker.
Traeger Hickory pellets.
4hrs @ 225˚.
They came out at 145˚.
I'll finish them in the oven for 2-3hrs @ 250˚.

Nice smoke ring. I hear folks say you don't get a smoke ring when using pellet stoves. To date that has not been an issue for us.
