Vent Happy !!!

Do you guys think it would be a good Idea to get a 3/4 nipple, a 3/4 by 3/4 by 3/4 tee and install two vents on the main ? I have a 60 to 15 run on my header and was wondering if this would help. I recently replaced a 3/4 import bullet vent with a Gorton's number 2 with a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter, on the 60 ft header and replaced the import bullet with a gorton number one vent o the 15 foot run as suggested by "the great wall of help " , but I'll do anything to keep my bills from Reaching $1200 dollars last year and if a dual vent Mod will tweak it, I'll Do it; of course the only thing i didn't consider was the fact that one vent would be facing sideways as oppsed to upright. Any Suggestions.
Also I've got Maid of Mist vents on the radiators and was wonder what difference it made with the valve lids where screwed tight or lossend; would this lower or raise the heat in a one pipe steam system ?
THanks again for all your help

See how fast
that long main heats up from the point at which the boiler starts producing steam. If it's more than a couple minutes, add another Gorton #2. Mount the tee with the run vertical and screw a nipple and a 90-deg. ell into the bull so the second vent will stand vertically.

Thanks Steamhead
You Rock!
Can it be a number 1 vent or will that throw it off?
Thanks for prompt the response0
