That way your only burning 1/2 the available space and I can control the temp very well. I used to put some fire brick in 1/2 but then I discovered that if you only put coal on half the grate it does just fine. I can run it around 180-200 on the griddle as long as I feed it.
That's a great idea! I may give that a try. From what I'm reading above, it appears I have an older version of the vigilant, but I assume you still have the internal baffles. Can I ask, do you leave the internal damper open when you're that low, or do you still close it up to conserve heat?
