You can't get something from nothing.
Fire it up, and see what works best for you.

Like Martin says - until it dies out. Keep in mind there is a preheat time which may be as much as an hour.
Thanks for your comments, I guess its best if I try it out and see for myself.

You get that chimney starter roaring hot and toss your stir fry in for a minute or two and your done. Want to throw some cold pre cooked rice, with some peas/carrots, and a egg, with some left over chicken, pork, or shrimp? No problem. All with 1lb of KBB.
Damn, no wonder I couldn't find any article on conserving charcoal, I didn't know it is so cheap in the US.
In the Netherlands, it costs 25 euros ($31) for one 22 lb bag.
