    And that’s the way we’re going this year. Every year me and my buddy build a raft. Then on the fourth we fuse our boards and shells, launch the raft, carefully load all the stuff onto the raft,...

    Yeah, they were called Front Lines and I got them for $21 a couple of months ago - tough price to beat for a 12/pk these days.
    And although I’ll say they’re definitely real 1.75 balls, I’d have to...

    Yeah that Diablo cake is pretty great. I think it just goes to show that some of these 200 gram cakes are impressive, especially if you’re right under them.

  4. Big n Bad is the best bang for your buck firework

    Prove me wrong!

    With all the price increases this year, this cake has stuck around $18, at least in my two favorite stores. And this 12 shot 200 grammer really is big and bad. We shot a few...

    Fair point.


    From an academic perspective (because I respect what Dave said above, so I'm not gonna bash Cody) when I use a milk crate, I put a piece of MDF on the bottom, to keep the tubes from...

    Mortar tube bucket “rack”

    Apologies if this seems like trolling, but it seems like it’s worth discussing. This guy has the biggest firework presence on YouTube (as far as I can tell) and he’s wildly irresponsible. It seems...

    If it were me, I'd replace the tubes without a second thought. I mean $50ish vs safety? I'll spend the cash. But I have less experience than most of you, so maybe I'm just overly cautious.

    Does anybody really think prices will come down next year, or ever? That’s a serious question - I’m new to this industry and I’m no economics experts, I just feel like inflation is usually permanent.

    My favorite local (NH) store has 4 inch shells for $80, 6 inch shells for $130, and a dozen choices in between.
    I assume those $150-210 prices include that brutal PA tax, but even so, that seems...

    It's a fun idea, and I can't think of any reason why it should affect the safety or the lift. (in a vacuum - there are also a dozen ways where this could go wrong)
    That said, I can't see how...

    Yes. They're very much noticeably louder than the smaller, normal sized adult snaps. But you get fewer of them per box.
    Surprisingly the Tannerite branded snaps are the same old small size, but...

    Are you saying you want to line the inside of your tube with foam tape, instead of wrapping it around the shell? Sounds like a bad idea to me, but I've never tried it.

    Yeah, it stinks. We were planning to shoot Saturday too, but unless the forecast changes dramatically in the next 12 hours, we'll have to move the party to Sunday.

    FWIW, to me, the language seems pretty ambiguous about whether HOAs can restrict fireworks. In one paragraph, it appears to indicate that they can, and in the other paragraph, it says that they...

    That's one thought I've had. But then, how do their cakes and shells work? Because I think those are made with tannerite, and nobody's shooting those.
  21. Are the Tannerite snaps made with tanneriite?

    I don't know if that's a stupid question because of course they are, or if it's a stupid question because of course they're not. I have no idea how that stuff works. ...

    The only way to find out is to try. I'd guess they're probably safe? I've shot 1.5 balls out of DR11 and they've been fine. But I suppose if you had some 1.5s that were real stingy on the lift...

    Last year, I had some small balls. I ended up wrapping a length of foam tape around each one that perfectly took up the extra space in a DR11 tube. They all went up perfectly.
