In my "hood" they call it 'poppin stuff'.
I was poppin' off firecrackers for a few hours. Had a section of 10" schedule 80 so I stuck it in the yard like a trash can for them. Kids thought it was cool sounding. Popped off a couple gross of bottle rockets and 12 of them artillery shell peony things.
It was fun. The firemen and policeman sat in lawn chairs watching the whole neighborhood poppin' off their fireworks. They were still lighting off stuff this morning at 5am.

First time I ever lit them mortar things. The fuses on them are fatter and burn really hot. The next time I do them I will use one of them fat long punk sticks. All I had were the little ones. The guy at the store must knew I was a sucker because that's what he gave me when I asked for punk sticks. Next time I will know better.
Almost burnt my hand on a fuse.
It is fun and Logan had a blast watching from inside the house. We set it up so he could be close but still inside. He giggled like crazy the whole time. I don't think I have to worry about him being gun shy.

I use a lighter to light the mortars. Just keep your hand away from the back of the wick and you'll be fine.

mix a little oxygen into it and it'll go boom bigger, but you will want a much larger fuse

I light those bitches off almost nightly. Fill up a gallon ziplock, put it in a paper bag and touch it off.

I blew up the index finger and thumb if my right hand with firecrackers when I was 12. Blew holes right to the bone. The doctor gave me 12 shots of Novocain surrounding the area and scrubbed them with a scrubber like you clean pots with. Every now and then a piece of something works its way out. I got permanent scars.
