The key to extending burn times is cutting off the air supplies - all of them - and only allow enough "bleed" air into the firebox for the coals to burn down at the desired rate.
Are your temps getting down to like 250 range when you do this?
Are there visible flames?
Do you get your stove blazing before you shut her down?
So you close your air intake AND your flue damper all the way? (You may not have a damper i guess)
Does your glass get all sooted up when you smolder burns like this?
