When I made paddies I'd cut a few over-size.
Getting to see the smoulder phase work, (how it spools up) helps.
With the Trioxide, I'd get a smoulder, it just hit a level and hang
there.
I can see how big a pop I want, how to re-coup earlier comps, mesh
size, and tweak the 81.8 of Trioxide.
Still, the range of amounts from 37.5-81.8, and the NC has me
fuddled.
To me, Dragon Eggs are like trying to learn how to tie a windsor knot
over the phone.
I'm still pissed, but it's a good pissed.
Thanks,
