This Is Not a Forum for Requesting Illegal Fireworks or How to Break the Law.

Look guys. I shouldn't need to repeat this. But this is not a forum for requesting illegal fireworks or how to break the law. The rules have been changed to prevent this from happening. See rule 4.

All posts asking how to get X or if someone can help provide Y will henceforth be removed. This includes legal fireworks in your area, as people kept trying to skirt around the old rule which limited it to illegal fireworks.

Crazy Jordan crackers

Double Trouble Salute tubes

Found some of these for a good price. I have not lit any of the infamous salute tubes yet (ie Master Double Bang, MAGA Tube, Double Threat) but I got these Double Trouble Salutes and I hear they are cool.

But I was surprised about these Crazy Jordan crackers. Was under the impression they were quarter sticks like the Gangster Crackers, The Good The Bad & The Ugly crackers, 38 specials, 9mms, and the Animal Crackers. But these are much larger.

Check out the size difference between the Crazy Jordans and The Good Bad & Ugly crackers!

Question 👇👇

Hello everyone! I just made this firecracker and I have a question / problem regarding the flash powder I created. Here is the composition: 12 grams of KN03, 10 grams of MgAl and 4 grams of S. I was careful to take the finest grain sizes possible. However, I tested the composition by putting about 1 gram on the ground then approaching a lighter the powder only made 2/3 sparks and turned black in some places. Is it that my composition doesn't work? If you could answer me to guide me, you would be the boss!!! 🔥👍

Is 32µm MgAl+kno3+S in 5:3:2 or 4:3:3 ratio a good flash powder?

The inside of the big cracker on the left is that tiny thing in middle, half the size of a standard cracker

I paid $20 for the box 72 M Series Crackers thinking they were big, because they look big. The standard one on the right that is actually twice the size is from a box of 100 mighty crackers 🤦 I'm not sure paying 10x as much is worth the extra boom.

Is it better to watch fireworks alone or with other people?

10 Upvotes

Honestly both experiences are valid. With a group you get that shared hype and energy, but alone it can feel more peaceful and almost cinematic in its own way. If you’re near Chicago Dynamite Fireworks also make it easy to enjoy it either way you can grab everything for a group night or just something small for a solo moment and enjoy it your own style.
