      What do you mean? From when you light to when the coals are completely burned out? Time above a certain temperature? How long it takes the coals to light?

      Sham - 

      Han is right.  It all depends.  Briquettes will come up to temperature in roughly 15 minutes.  Then, they will maintain cooking temperature according to how they are used.  Briquettes in an open grill used for creating searing temperatures of 400+ degrees will last for roughly 1-2 hours depending on the volume used.  Briquettes used in a barbeque cooker with regulated gas inlet/exhaust, insulation from heat loss and run at 220 degree cooking temperature can last over 4 hours.
