This extended shoulder season (mild December) has led me to begin using the strategy of banking coals. I read about this last year but have only started implementing it this year and haven't heard much about it so thought it was worth writing about.
Banking coals is when you have some coals that are great for a relight, but you don't need to relight, so you shovel the coals onto a back corner and cover them with a blanket of ash. This preserves your coal bed for an extended period of time allowing for longer periods of time between relights.
I love this strategy and it has been working out well for me this year. Anyone else banking coals? Hope that helps.
