Cooked my first rack of spare ribs. I thought I had my temperature stabalized at 250 degrees. Temperature stayed at 250 for about 40 minutes. I placed two racks of spare ribs into my large green egg. After placing the ribs on the temperature dropped as expected. However, after an hour and a half the temperature climbed to only 210 degrees. I thought the temperature was supposed to stablize to 250 after about an hour. Am I doing something wrong? I ended up adjusting the bottom and top vents to get it to 250. I'm a newbie, just want to make sure i'm doing things correctly. Any suggestions please??? If I don't figure this temp thing out I will use my Auber temp control device on a permanent basis.

Edeloach I can't help you but also have a temp control question. I cooked my first on the BGE tonight it was pizza but had trouble holding over 500 degrees past two pizzas with no cover and bottom wide open. Did I not start with enough coal? Filled about an inch above vent holes.

Piganytime, you probably didn't have enough coal in the egg. When I fill up the firebox I have no trouble maintaining over 500.
