The Great Cheap, Safe Fireworks Hunt

Prestonboi

I got a deal, paid £20 for my 2 packs, they were supposed to be £15 each.

so line them up and the port fire lights them quick enough to do one after the other?

Yes a portfire would be fine, it's a high temperature powerful flame and would despatch those fuses in the blink of an eye

i am going to a little firework shop to see if they do portfires if not i have a pencil blowtorch but i think the wind could blow that out so fingers crossed for the portfires

Good pics, those rockets look good!

Im also after a way of lighting a few fountains/ multishots at once, to get 'rid' of a few items from the fire pack. I cant manage to get to a shop that sells portfires though!

In the past I have put a couple of fireworks together and positioned the fuses or 2 or three of them over a fountain. I then lit the 'middle' fountain and the sparks of this lit the others! Probably not the safest or most reliable way of doing it but its worked ok for me in the past.

I was planning on using this method to light the two manhatten roman candles/fountain at once but in a fanned way. Problem with this is that the fuses are at the very top of this firework so Its guna be hard to get them to light. Goin to have a fiddle before my display to see if I could sort of secure them to a stake so they are positioned in a way that they will light haha!

They look like they will be good! Especially at those prices which seem quite cheap!

Shame about the portfires though!

Lol, I love the way everyone is using the lynx cans to show the size of their fireworks! Feel like taking a stash pic with a lynx can to keep in with the forum :P
