With the lid off on a cooler day the temp does not go up as high as I wish it to be.
I've read somewhere that in the begining, vapor might form on the inside of the lid during the start so....
I do it with lid on usually.

Some time ago Santha changed the lids from a floating style to a sealed style. I hope to get it changed back, but nothing so far.
I usually refine with the lid off for about 1 hour, then keep an eye on it for another couple hours with the lid on wiping away any moisture that forms. Even though it just came from the chocolate, it can be enough to seize the chocolate should it drip in.
