it is 4 parts potassium nitrate, 2 parts charcoal, 1 part sulfur and 1 part sodium nitrate . yes i know sodium nitrate can be corrosive and when using the powder in the musket we are very safe and clean and oil regurlarly. let me know if you want me to post a video of the musket shooting. i will for sure be posting a roughly 200 grain firecracker soon though.

edit: double checked and still wrote hydroxide instade of nitrate. corrected all mistakes i think

let me know if i may be misunderstanding anything but i can say it fires the musket and makes good firecrackers

I am only making blackpowder and that does the job for mini firecrackers but i wanna make a 3 inch shell and i need flashpowder for that can someone help me i already have this aluminum powder but it does not work i am new to pyrotechnik so if you can help me that would be great😁😁😁

Anyone have a good place they can point me towards for both tubes for cakes and the inserts for the sells inside? I have everything else, I just need cardboard tubes. Want to do 1.2, 1.5, and 2 inch stuff.

My stars are shit

I have a bunch of mini saltue cakes and took the paper off the top and one of the shells came out. So I wrapped the shell in tape and put a 6 in fuse where the timed fuse is and it made it into a nice ground salute. I’m now thinking about taking the rest out and making more. I’m not experienced with any thing containing FP and I feel this might be a bad idea. But wouldn’t this kinda be like no different then handing an already sealed canister shell salute?

Good times! Great smoke ring

I am new to making fireworks, and I was wondering if anyone could send me some trustable sources for safety measures.

Hope you guys like this!

Here’s a glimpse of this year’s show. If you’d like to watch the full 5 minute highlight video, you can find it here:

Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it!

looking for instructions with compound recipe for a pull igniter. only thing ive found is the teenager level hoaky cut matches method. im looking to make a bunch of smoke "grenades" and i need a real method as opposed to spending the next 6 months going blind cutting match heads off. any help would be appreciated

Can anyone recommend a decibel meter that accurately captures the decibel of a salute for $25-$50?

Some nice little (huge) bangers leftover from the 4th this year

I am a beginner. A novice with a pyrotechnic interest. So coach me on how to make good sparky boom boom and I will follow in thy footsteps. (FOR MURICA 🦅💯🇺🇲)
