My first BGE experience, ribs, and I'm BORED!

I just got my XL BGE yesterday and using it for the first time today.[p]So the baby backs have been on for about 2.5 hours now, the dome temp has been at 240-250 with only a very minor amount of tweaking of the lid, and this is just too easy, there has to be a catch....[p]Mind you now I haven't acually eaten the ribs yet (or seen them in 2.5 hours for that matter) but I can't believe how easy it is to control the temp. An ever so small movement of either the top or bottom vent and the temp moved from 240-250+, then I barely bumped it a little more closed and it settled right at 250. I keep going outside to check it and its still at 250. The wife and I even set up some chairs around it with a few Michelobs and even set the radio on but with no fire to tend or turning the meat, we came back inside to the air conditioning and internet. [p]My few previous experiences with smoking/barbequing have been with a bullet type setup and lots of tending, stoking, shielding from wind, and "playing with things."[p]Oh well, the final test is in the taste. I've been poking around to see how I actually want to finish things off and I think I may get the sauce on a little sooner than what I'm reading here, ala Carsons Ribs at ribs.com. I have one last bottle of their sauce and it's my favorite.
