the problem with personal responsibility is there are too many irresponsible people.

Listen if someone's idiocy only means they blow their own head off by holding a mortar over their head, by...

i just want to know what fireworks stand sells the fireworks in that first picture! :eek::o

my favorite cake is the Leinenkugel ;-)

have to agree - midsummer dream and aquarian are great cakes for their size / price

unfortunately, no idea on the lower limit sorry. maybe someone else here will

This. There was some great info on this on the Pyro Universe board before it went away. reloadables can be 1.75" and max 60 grams. but it's not possible to fit 60 grams into a 1.75" ball shell,...

Hah, i just reopened mine and did the same thing. only thing is, i'm not sure if i'm actually making it better, or if i just love thinking about fireworks :)

hah, for me, i watch the videos multiple times as much because i like watching fireworks as much as for research :)

i think generally mortars and 500 gram cakes will be about the same, depending on the type of cake. zippper / fan cakes will be different. a canister shell can have 60 grams of powder ... a nine...

i'd highly recommend burning a few pieces of fuse by themselves to get a feel for timing, although i think the speeds are generally pretty true to what the packaging says. I basically laid the fuse...

This... definitely try to find more than one video of each cake if you can. i forget which cake, but one of my cakes this year has a 10 second duration difference between two different videos.

overthinking it is half the fun. wait, probably more than half the fun ... i have spent dramatically more time laying out my show than it will take to blow everything up! There are absolutely no...

Hey good to see you after the fall of pyrouniverse! A good point here - low breaks can happen. I've only had one in five years of many cakes and many mortars, but you don't realize how big some of...

I'm not opposed to electrical firing, I actually totally get it. But my fireworks site is my brother's house and while his wife is OK with the fireworks, she doesn't love them and we're already...

nope, no firing module for me. i'm all in on fusing, but haven't gone to the step of a firing module. we honestly just use regular bbq grill lighters. we're very low tech :-)

oh, and as regards spacing, other than making sure that the fan cake has clearance, with cakes that shoot straight up you won't be able to tell the difference in the sky between cakes that are...

regarding the finale - there's a thread below that talks about it that would probably give you some more ideas, but if it were me, i'd light the front two, let those go for a part or most of their...

I can't really comment on the fireworks you have as I don't really know too many cakes by name. I will say a few things that work for me. I find that mixing in 200 gram cakes along with larger...

i've been re-watching my videos from last year, and the largest crowd reaction came when the largest number of things were going off at the same time. Now that said, my show is much smaller than...

I've only done two shows but i've used tape for every connection and the only time i had something not fire was when i put a couple of dinky little things at the front of a board where their fuse...

same here; party/fireworks on the 3rd. recovery on the 4th :p

+3. bought tubes from pyroboom last year & they were great - both the service & the product

makes perfect sense. getting the timing right is so important. so i live in philly and do the shoot at my brother's house in michigan & all the boards are there. We're going to do the shoot on...

nothing so specific. just relative general size based on category - 200 gram cakes are the smaller ones, 500 gram are the bigger ones. i do the shoot at my brother's house so i have to play nice...
