I'd say about 2 mins on regular coal or 32 days,7hrs and 12 minutes on Supermans Special Kryptonite Nuggets.
Hope this helps Laughing Laughing Laughing

ps : Sorry, blame the beer drunken

Okay, kidding aside now, I was chatting to a 2" owner in our club at one of the rallies last year and enquired on the same thing mate, He reckons on tickover with it full on water, you can happily leave it for an hour whilst you replenish your fluids in a beer tent, personally I'm not too keen on that one butttttttttt I guess it'll run as good as your set-up, damper near closed so the fires low n keeps and eyes on the water, it's gonna last a fair ole while before you start having to burn ya club hands on the fire-doors..
