So DICE snow is better than little small pellet size pieces when dropping it into the pot?

Finer works better for me.

doesnt have to be snow per se but smaller the peices the better. The acetone or alcohol serves as the delivery medium for the cold offered by the DICE. The purpose of the Acentone/Alcohol is to maximize surface contact area at the base of the pot. Acetone gets cold, whatever it touches gets cold. So when you have DICE in small pieces or snow, you can get more of it to contact the acetone which results in cooler temps. If some of that snow actually gets down into the holes of the F1, EVEN BETTER!

Stir often to make sure the DICE is gettin to the bottom of the pot.

Finer = more surface area.. You can fit more sand in a container then pebbles right? Same idea.

Remember you medium is liquid....

EDIT: yeah what supes said

I was using different size chunks of DICE in my cooler and notice that the bigger they were the more I had to stir with a long screwdriver. Smaller pieces were much easier do deal with.

[Neuromancer]

Interesting would think larger pieces would be more effective in that situation.. Not cooling wise but manual intervention wise...

I am a n00b for a reason I guess though

Had a blast over at Kal's yesterday. Felt like a kid in a candy store. Poured my first thermos full of LN2 and heard the Dragon hiss for the very first time. What a rush.

Scrapping the chiller idea and jumping into LN2/DICE head first. My pot will be here by the end of the week.
