Temperature Ramp-up

I did a rack of turbo BB Ribs yesterday. I cleaned the egg and loaded the KA basket with RW, on top of the leftover RW lump that was already in it. It was the bottom of the bag so a lot of small pieces went in, along with some fines. I got it stabilized at 350-ish and put the rack on for its 100 min. About 80 min in the temp started ramping up without any adjustment on my part. I started closing vents, both top and bottom, to keep it under 370. The cook turned out fine, but why would the temp start rising after almost 2 hrs of stability? Where those fines restricting airflow thru the lump and when they burned it opened the fuel up for more air?

Most likely a change in airflow to the fire - your theory about the blocked airflow seems good. Assume you did not have water in a drip pan that went dry? Was there a change in wind conditions that might have caused more airflow?Southeast Florida - LBGE
In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
No water in the drip pan, and the wind was reasonably steady during the cook.
