That's not a problem. If you forget either one it just goes out. It's not like you have to be concerned about the house freezing up!!
But if you can remember it in the winter, why not the summer also?

In the winter I make myself do it everyday when I leave for work. The summer its on about a 3 day cycle the problem for me is was monday day one or tuesday.? Oh I think it was Tuesday nope it was Saturday. It can be traced back to Lazy.

Same with me. I have found it easier to top off my drum with coal every time I change the ash tub...I know how much the coal can go down before the ash tub is full, so it makes it easy to judge every time I make a trip to the beer fridge.
