I wonder how much Dave paid him to promote this 😂
Just asking.
What's louder.... a strobe or a llorona rocket?
Thanks
Is it actually legal to set off fireworks on New Years? Cause i have a ton of festival balls i wasn’t able to use on the 4th because of the stupid rain
Trying to decide on whether or not to buy a 24 kit of excalibur plats or growlers. If it helps, I already plan on buying a box of basic excaliburs regardless.
Hi what's the best way to single fuse join small barrages together so they fire individually one after other?
Can use a long visco fuse and connect fire works at corresponding times.
Or workout last firing tube and coconnect next firework to that
Which is safest and easiest approach?
Does anyone happen to have a plug to get some promotional material from Racoon? Willing to pay. Thanks
I feel like a need a couple more 500s but I’m just addicted to powerful 200gs. All about bang for buck. Hopefully this will get us started! I haven’t found one particular fw that I just can’t get enough of but I feel like it’s going to be the “surfer girl” by hog wild (bottom right). From what I’ve seen it’s a bang and a half and for only 20$ a steal. I would like to see it cheaper but that’s just my wallet talking.
Do you guys think this was a good order? The cost is $301.40 for all of this. Are there any fireworks besides the cans and High Falutin/Hit the Road Jack that surprised you? I wanna know if I got any good cakes this time that will blow me away!

First time buying wholesale, placed a fairly large order for New years.
Has anyone lit the nine shot Geisha Nights? It's 500 grams and has nine shots, so I'm wondering if its a 3 inch bore size? I'm wondering because it's being priced at 18 bucks, and that feels to good to be true when the other NOABs are 40-60 bucks.
How do you guys handle finale pacing on NYE? I’m thinking I’ll try to have dead sky for a few seconds, then during the final 10 second countdown start with some low, ground effects that build up and then have the finale begin in earnest at 0.
Anyone do something similar? Any tips for what small things to set off during the countdown to build up to the sky puke?
I was wondering if there was anything I should know before purchasing anything online. I wanted to get a case of 18 shot 500 gram cakes (4 total for $155 BEFORE shipping) but have been hesitant due to the price. One of the FAQ's on their website said that they do not ship single items out of state, but does a case count as a single item? They havent responded to my emails or calls so i brought this here for an answer. I'm debating as to whether or not I go over my budget by splurging and adding a second item for insurance. Any thoughts?
Curious if there's a way to set off consumer rockets (shells are banned here) with talon igniters? The obvious issue I envisage is the igniter staying attached and pulling the rocket as it launches.
Anyone know what these are?? I found them with my dad's stuff after he moved. Any ideas? They are the size of the poppers you throw. But you roll them and they give off sparks
Curious what the name/type is and if it’s obtainable without needing to be a professional
I did a mini firework display on the 3rd of November in my garden and one of the fireworks didn’t go off.
I lit the fuse but nothing happened.
How do i dispose this firework safely?
I’m probably late to the party but drove by their exit to work this week and was gonna stop in on my way back. Guess not.
Sharing here as so many of us have crossed paths with Tom, who passed on Sunday. He was the founder and owner of The Fireworks Superstore in Hannibal, MO, the largest firework store in the country. I met him only once last November, but I've heard so many talk about what an awesome guy he was. Condolences to his friends and family.
I'm going to buy some cans very soon, and I still haven't lit any before. They have Grand Jury, Smoke And Mirrors, Quest, And Pirates by Skysong (Never heard of this one). From videos, Pirates looks to have the best breaks and volume, but I'm not sure. What would you guys pick if faced with this choice and you had to choose one?
I believe I'm in around $470 ish? My last show was inconsistent with fuse timing, is there a specific way to get them a bit more accurate?
Greetings, first visit. I am doing some estate planning and the lawyer asked what I wanted done with ashes. I normally don't care, but I got it in my head to have some ashes attached to a massive firework. I quick googled and it seems it's mostly British outfits that make them and won't ship to the US. I would really be interested in a DIY solution. Any thoughts? I have some ashes from my dog to practice woth
Can anyone here shoot me a contact number for Pyro Diablo? I hear good things about them and am interested in working with them. Thank you
Has anyone here wrapped paper or masking tape around small shells to get them to fit more snugly in their normal sized mortars? Is it just not worth the risk?
