I do that more often then not. A friend of mine got me started doing some of my direct cooks with only 1 daisy wheel open. Much like the first kettles from the 50s that only had one bottom vent and one top. I love that method when I do burgers and chicken thighs.

I use one weber charcoal basket banked, i cover the rest of the charcoal grate with foil. I can dial in temps to what ever temp i desire. I add 6 briquettes of charcoal every hr after the first couple of hrs for long cooks. Very easy to dial in temps using the 26er.

I pile a mix of lump, briquettes and wood chunk on one side and a water pan on the other. I light about a handful of briquettes and place along the side touching the wall of the grill. I then open the bottom vents just enough to get a crack of light (one touch vent) and always leave the top vent wide open. then open the bottom vent a hair at a time and wait 5 minutes , repeat until you reach temp. if you find it getting too hot close the bottom vent wait 5 minutes start the above steps again. Its all about air flow from bottom to top. when the cooks over close both vents and save fuel after a couple times you will know where to vent without the waiting. Wind is the wildcard that is hard to control. Hope this helps.
