I just bought my BGE and used it today to smoke ribs. All the hints and ideas I got from you guys made the ribs absolutely fantastic. For the first time in my grilling experience i did not add BBQ sauce. It would have ruined them.

I would like to warn new BGE smokers. In the time i took the ribs off; went into the house and came back out and closed the lid the BGE was at 400 degrees F. AIR IS NOT YOUR FRIEND when smokin"

thanks again

    Congratulations on the great cook.

    Remember to get some pictures up.

    The egg should of held temperature, did you leave the dome open when you went in? (that's a no, no).

    Welcome aboard, glad your first cook went well.

    If you wouldn't mind, can you consider changing your forum handle? There is a fairly well known Big Green Egg BBQ Competition Team that goes by "Big Green Eggs and Ham". Even though they don't post here except once in a blue moon, it would save confusion among everyone....just in case.

    Now get to taking pictures and share your results with us.

    hehe.. yeah, don't leave the dome open. Your BGE can go from low to hell quite fast. I was cookin' the other day and thought I was getting low on lump, so I took the grate off and stirred up the coal to ensure air flow first... and I had flames licking my face.

    Enjoy your egg and welcome!
