I plan on making a sparkler bomb this year. I just need to buy a couple of oz.'s of black powder or pyrodex to accellerate the top burn.

Good deal. Shooting off a triple-break in one tube and a single break in the other at the same time produces a good effect.

Trust me, if I had the funds... I'd be spending quite a bit on fireworks too.

we spent 1500 on fireworks last year, prolly same this year. luckily Phantom Fireworks runs specials such as: Buy 1 get 2nd for .99. and then when you spend so much on them you get an assortment pack.

they are fun.

and we had a GOOD amount of them. iirc we filled up 1/2 of my dads Avalanche bed.

New Hampshire and South Carolina were the only states I knew of where you could buy fireworks. Just learned you can get 'em in WA too. Sweet.

WA is OK, no firecrackers or Rockets!


For you Nevada guys, can you buy the good stuff like Mortar, Rockets, and multiple break fountains in Nevada?

Yikes! You guys are really big spenders. ;) I buy a block or two of dry ice ($10-$15), get 20oz bottles from the recylcing centers for free, and make dry ice bombs. :p

IMHO, when you've seen a fireworks show, you've seen 'em all. That's why I just stick to the 'bang' part of celebrating.

bump for people who need the reminder before the 4th. Stands are starting to sell here in Austin, TX.

I just started yesterday by spending $30 on a 36-blast artillery shell and roman candles.
