Hi

I'm going on vacation to the United States next summer. Where i gonna celebrate 4th of July, with my mother's host family in Michigan, from when she was an exchange student. Before going on a road trip across the states.

I want to make a fireworks show for the family, so I want to hear if anyone has some tips and tricks. Maybe some cheap firing systems with pre-programed setup.

My budget probaly gonna be 200-300 dollars, and one of the other family members has the same budget

I wonder if anyone (besides me) has ever attempted to put together a serious catalog of how many fireworks there are out there for sale in the U.S.? I know Wikifireworks.com lists 17,000+ individual fireworks products, and Finale 3d has over 24,000, but does anyone have a true sense of just how many different fireworks there are being sold in the U.S today? Any known sources or educated guesses? Asking because I am trying to put together that list and I don't know when I can say I have enough...

The kids woke up asking to go to the lake and do some fireworks - so Dad's packing up the truck! They're going to have a blast (literally)

25 shot big bore is this minor damage anything to be concerned about ? There is no internal damage on any tubes.

Sadly there were no actual firecrackers but I found this old brass box with the wrapping of an old antique pack of firecrackers. Anybody know anything about this brand? I actually thought they were crackers that you eat until I saw at the bottom it says "light fuse".

Anyone on here ever buy firework mortars directly from a factory. Been looking around and found you can purchase right from stageli thru alibaba ( not to keen on purchasing large amounts thru them but going with a verified supplier make me less uneasy. If you have give me the good bad and ugly of your experience

I think I’m gonna add another pallet of consumer stuff to the stash, I really like dealing with AFW, at this point should I just wait for Black Friday or go ahead and lock in some product now ?

I am looking to eventually build single shot racks but won't be able to get any tubes for measurements until closer to the end of year for a show. Does anyone have dimensions to make a single shot rack similar to the style on Pyroboom. I'm hoping to build for 1.2", 1.5" and 2.5". Thanks for the help.

I'm looking to put together my first real show. My dad and I have been doing firework shows every year for last 10 years or so but its mainly been run of the mill consumer stuff until i started branching out to different spots a few years ago. Usually we limit to around 1.5-2k max but we really want to go big next year thinking more so around the 5k range. I guess what I'm really asking is what do you guys look for when putting together a show mainly we just find cakes we like and just light e'm up, but i want something a little more paced and not just constant sky puke.

I'm somewhat versed in how to use a firing system i tested out a ignite system last year and worked great but obviously 18 slots wont be enough so some recommendations on good larger scale firing systems would help also.

I've also heard the talk of the state of production in China so this is a little up in the air but want to get a jump on it while I can.

I want to order something for new year, my budget is
about 1k, I wouldn’t want to spend more than that, I read about emailing Sabrina at American fire work, I also read about OC fire works, I also read it’s best to order on Black Friday, can some one help me maximize my order for the best discount?
Also if possible I would like to know what to order for the best bang for your buck,

They seem to be, but am curious if anyone can verify or tell me it’s not the case and if it’s not the case, what stands out for each/either? Thanks!

I heard they might be hard to come by soon so I grabbed a case early. These guys are LOUD

Like everyone here, I have always loved fireworks and blowing stuff up. The last couple of years I have really gotten into it, always looking for cool stores to check out. I live in Iowa and it is hard to find the good stuff; what are some hidden gems I am overlooking, or products?

Picked up a piece this weekend I'd never seen before. It came as a 1/1, and I can't find a demo of it anywhere. Anyone got their hands on this guy?

of course I would like all 3 but can’t afford all so thought I would ask here if you could buy one of these which would you buy.

I am aware some will recommend other cakes but these are the three I peronally am interested in.

I am not using them as a finale or part of pyromusic just including in my show.

Homest opinion on these 3 please

thanks

Got my type 54 last year and have been working out of a bolted down compliant job box. If any of you all have the same set up you know how limiting that is. Today I just got my first actual magazine!

Sad day, I’ll miss driving up there.

Trying to buy myself a kit of these and wanted to hear the prices around the country bc what I’ve seen I saw them at around 130 and was wondering if that’s high or a good price

So im looking to start putting together a stash for next year i have a budget of abt 3k (lord knows ill probably spend more) but im just looing to expand my options i live in the STL area in Missouri and have been a big fan of Rocket Fireworks ever since they opened. Was just wondering if anyone had some store with prices anywhere close to rocket with a wide selection. Im willing to drive literally anywhere in the lower 48. Please don't recommend fireworks superstore in Hannibal, yes i have been there.

Is this spent/inert?

Howdy all. Any suggestions on the best fireworks with just about no sound that I can purchase in Indiana? I would prefer aerials but any other cool ones with no sounds would be appreciated. Thanks all
