Exactly Dave! I feel your pain...lol.

Well whatever you do Dave, don't let the fire department get hose happy and spray your racks down afterwards. A few years back I had them present at one of my shows and after strict orders from me...

I hate that someone got hurt, I really do. But its hard to ignore the stupidity involved with this accident. Its real simple, if you point a loaded gun at yourself and pull the trigger, you're...

Proximity is the key factor. You can never be close to 1.3g, not legally anyway. A 1.4g show viewed at 200-300 feet (usually a safe distance) looks massive. I am not foolish enough to say that...

TNT looks out for themselves, not the pyro industry. They believe in safe and sane and they want to be the sole supplier to chain stores. Its all about TNT and their safe and sane crusade....you...

Its unfortunate, but if you own the title "fireworks store"...a lot of law enforcement, community boards, city councils local judges almost look at you and treat you like a terrorist. Seeing that I...

I figure the reason was probably due to fire hazards. Arkansas if very rural and very hot and dry during the summer when most people use sky lanterns. I do understand that being a concern. What I...

I just found out the Arkansas legislature passed a ban on Sky Lanterns that went into effect Jan. 1st 2014. I learned this thru one of my wholesalers who informed us of the ban in a letter included...

I know the first line of thought is that if you build your racks you can do it a lot cheaper. Honestly, with what materials cost these days, I'd say you can almost buy a rack that is built by...

Thanks for the link Dave, very informative video on why NOT to use PVC.

Well, that certainly would be a good reason to unload it. If a shell is not seated properly in the bottom of the tube it sure could create some undesirable problems. Just be careful. When I say...

Years ago, yeah...now....no

Why are you taking the shells back out once you load them? Actually a nice tight fit will produce a much better lift for the shell. I often run into this problem with excals and other can shells. ...

PVC will become shrapnel in a shell malfunction and it might get under you skin in the muscle/meat or in your blood stream. Did I mention that PVC is highly TOXIC! Get that stuff inside your body...

correct. I just thought cracker should have explained why you don't use PVC. Most people don't listen when you say no but if you tell them why you said no and inform them of the consequences they...

Explain to us why

all my racks were built from scrap material...that is why none of them look a like...lol. But they are heavy and solid which is perfect for mass firings.

James, your racks look good, I bet...

ok, you have a nice day now.

Ok, cool. I've heard people make comments in the past about metal tubes making a pretty cool sound vs traditional cardboard, hdpe and fiberglass. Makes since though, I can see where the metal pipes...

Hey Tiny, do those make a different sound when launching?

Well, at least they won't get the ones I had because they are all gone and there are no more left where I got them from...so at least in my case they'd just be chasing smoke...lol:D I usually make...

Was that Eddie Whobery? I used to talk to him on the phone a lot. I bought from him a year or two, got some of the standard stuff that was good. Sounds like he has some good items available...

I purchased a case of salute cakes last year, packed 12/1...25 shots and about the size of brothers 200 gram bling bling. Long story short, they're loud! Also have two different types of candles,...

The friends I mentioned who wanted fewer than 100 tubes just jumped in on my order. I think we ordered 500+ tubes at the time and got them for like $1.19 a piece but remember, this was 10 years ago....
