re: Aggy Board OT Discussion Thread

Gotta question.

I haven't purchased my ticket yet for the A&M vs ARK game. I've found some Hall of Fame C100s tickets that normally go for $300 at an asking price of $125

Its an individual seller on Craigslist

Thoughts?

There's lots on stubhub, seatgeek, and the like.

I'm not a fan of waiting this long to buy a ticket but here I am. Does anyone here have one for sale?

Yes and surprisingly there wasn't but one post for the Arkansas game

Since we joins the sec I haven’t been able to get any “bargains” for that game

Face value is way too expensive. And since they are not included in any season ticket package, they're aren't all bought it with people seller because they can't make it.

A few words of advice, try a smaller brisket (under 10 pounds) for your first time out. Less trimming required and it will cook faster so it gives you a little more wiggle room is you start to lose heat toward the end as you are getting used to the Egg. To get 12 hours of consistent temp you need to do it just right so a smaller brisket can knock that down and will give you some flex and honestly I think smaller briskets are better. It's all they use at Snow's, most of their start at around 8 lbs or less.

I actually had 17 HS Seniors at my house last night that are in YMSL (Young Men's Service League) and taught them how to cook their own steak as a part of their "Life Skills" and used my XL Egg, got it up to 500 with some mesquite and lump charcoal and did it in 2 waves. Boys had a blast and it was really a good thing, I was surprised how few of them had ever cooked their own steak on a grill before and didn't know what to do.

The Q&A in the beginning asking them about "Who knows the difference between Select, Choice, and Prime" also yielded some great answers along with what temp you want your steak at. Most were saying 160 and some were saying over 200 for "Medium Rare".

Oh I definitely learned every lesson the hard way when it comes to grilling and BBQ but it's a labor of love. Something special about drinking a cold beer or a glass of bourbon and putting meat on a fire.

Thanks guys, I’m really excited to do the brisket on the egg this weekend

A couple more tips. If you can get a Prime Brisket for a decent price, do it. Also, makes sure to let it rest for at least an hour if not longer. I let mine rest in foil and put a half a stick of butter down on the meat side and it will absorb into the meat while it rests. Butter and beef are always a good idea.

What section are you guys sitting in? I'm probably going to buy my ticket today.
