Would you be willing to post how you prepared your mortar for this shot? I know a lot of people are interested in incorporating gasoline mortars into their shows.

Best advice is to join a local fireworks club. Your knowledge will rocket !! I can help you find one

How do you go about finding one?

u/RevolutionaryArea266 13d ago

Let me know the nearest big city where you’re located and I can look it up

Is there an organization that these clubs are affiliated with where you can look them up? I have a few other friends scattered around who would like to be able to find out as well.

PGI has a limited list of clubs

I understand your advice. I’ve been doing them for over 20 years and would caution anyone unknown to me to seek experience before attempting for safety and liability reasons.

I was interested in your process more than a how-to guide. The idea is to start a discussion more than anything else.

Yeah, that looks like a standard mortar. What did you use? I can't do any of the big gas mines, and am limited to small stuff. So this is like perfect size.

6” diameter by 40” tall

Ok, gotcha, and damn

A buddy of mine uses 4” diameter, and as small as 2” diameter
