But they like to smoke hot, but not too hot. Too cold and they go out. Too hot and they go sour. Right in the middle they burn unevenly or go out. Gotta keep em on a very narrow balance beam just on the underside of too hot.
That has EXACTLY been my experience with them. Love them when they're performing, but they are high maintenance.
So many times I look at 2 of them, in the top tray of one of my humis, and I simply say fuq it, don't feel like wrestling this evening.
