My coals (Kingsford) lasts around 45 mins to an hour. You should be good for 45 minutes cooking time.
In general, when I'm cooking something for hours, I put coals in the chimney 15 mins before the old ones need to be replaced. I don't replace all of them, since they are producing heat. I brush off the ash, and combine the coals (now smaller) into groups of three or so, simulating a single new coal.. Does that make any sense? I then count the coals I 'made' and add new coals to obtain the original count. I space them out alternating old coals and new ones. When the old coals are reduced to ash, I replace them as needed.
