What kind of fireworks do you crazy assholes recommend?
I need the legal kind. But I'd still like enough pow to perhaps lose a hand or my hearing if I'm not carful.

I got the Iwo Jima assortment from Phantom in Farmington. Looks pretty solid. $300
I could easily drop $1000 in that place.

Anything but mortars is just fucking around. Black Cat is severely over-priced

I like the boxes. One fuse and a good show. I hate running back and forth for individual mortars... not to mention, if your mortar tube goes bad, you're screwed.

Boxes are good for a finale but some of them fail part way through...then you're left putting your eyesight (or worse) in jeopardy trying to figure out how to re-light it.SawGreen wrote:I like the boxes.

Hard to **** up new composite mortar tubes without putting the shell in upside-down

Thunder kings, mortars, Roman candles
Anything else is just boring. Oh and get some of those 1/4 sticks of dynamite!
You're gonna stand there, ownin' a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistlin' bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin' kitty chaser?

Just look for the biggest, most expensive boxes in the store. Those are the ones you want if you want legal ones.

I did buy a composite tube... all of $3. I'm sure it will be worth it.
These are some boxes that I have (one a repeat from last year that I enjoyed):

The only other thing I amusing were the blocks that held a couple hundred of the short red missiles. Light one fuse and run for cover because those little fuckers were going everywhere at once.

We buy a bunch of Chinese lanterns, let them float above the tree line, then try to shoot them down with mortars.
Just kidding. I fucking hate fireworks. White trash waste of money.

A family friend has some land in the middle of nowhere in Kansas. We were lighting off mortars on his property several years ago and didn't realize that the tub started to melt. We had an "oh shit!" moment when the tube finally gave in, and a mortar bounced off the roof of his pole barn and exploded on the ground not 30 feet from us. Ditched that pussy ass tube and started using a metal pipe. Much better.

Buy 1,000 or so of those sparklers and then tape them with a couple rolls of electric tape. Have one sparkler protruding from the rest, then light it as a fuse and run away.

You and your family should have a Roman candle fight.

A nephew of mine did this. A hole burned through the bottom of the tape, and the thing became a rocket with no wings. It was coming straight toward my cabin before veering off about 20 feet and impaling itself on the ground in-between to cars (among about 6 cars parked together). It never blew up.
How we managed to avoid any damage is beyond me, but I don't think he has done it since.

Two things that will be spoken countless times over the next week:
"Hey guys, watch this." and
"Hold my beer."

Just buy a roll of extra fuse, like $3, then use masking tape and tie all the fuses onto the extra piece. Just light one end and step back.

Those things are great for concentrated fire on a fortified position too. Great for clearing out "bunkers" in bottle rocket wars.

Then he must not have done it right. He probably taped the entire top, when you should only tape the sides so the fire goes up, not down.
