I could leave the 3 bricks and they would burn for about 2 hours or so. But I use them for starters, so once they're about half through, I knock them down and lay my splits on top. They fire real nice 
I could probably load about 15 in my fire box, and that's just an estimate.

It was even worse watching them lose in person!! It was funny that the fans had nothin to say about them gettin drubbed 14-3 the night before. Dern Yankees :/
