i assume the tire eater means corn sugar -- hopefully...
no differences in technique, but you may need to use a different amount of DME compared to how much corn sugar (?) you've been using.

Yeah, I'm assuming he meant corn sugar, but still, that would be pretty hilarious.

Nah, it's really only funny the first few times it happens. By now, it's just been done to death.
And to answer the OP's question.....
The difference is the time it takes to carb your beer. Corn sugar generally takes 3 weeks for full carb, DME takes about 5 weeks to carb.
