I can only really attest to experience in using charcoal in a smoker, but, in theory, the charcoal should burn all night.

What kind of wood are you burning? Some burns way longer then others

I know those briquettes emit some pretty toxic smoke.

You may want to do a Google search on it cause if your stove leaks a bit you may wake up dead..

A good layer of fire brick in the bottom helps too..

Spruce is crap. Burns quick little heat. Pine is better. For or latch are best.. dry stuff of course

Yes I am giving that some thought even though the stove is vented outside I am leary will leave then at home
