Any firework in which you can't get hurt cannot, by definition, be 'Best Firework'.

M-80's, cherry bombs, roman candles, bottle rockets qualify for the 'Best Firework'.  There are others as well.  Snakes do not qualify.  

Bottle rockets aimed into the lake were always cool.  When the report went off, it would go 'poof' and light up the water at night.

Guess I'd better work on some Independence Day emoticons for you classy guys...

A neighbor of mine asked a bunch of us to help him with a church fundraiser last night.  Turned out to be working a fireworks shop in Haysville about 10 minutes south of downtown 'ta.  I cashiered.  This way trumped the white trash scene at the Wichita Wild games.  If I'd known what I was getting into, I definitely would've brought the camera and had some material ready to use on these people.  Multiple families paying with quarters and having to leave to get more money out of the car or come back after payday.

Pretty sure I could sign up again for register duty before the 4th if any elites want to come mix it up...

- 2-3 packs of sparklers (the wire ones, not the cheap wood ones)
- wrap tightly with lots of duck tape, leave one sparkler sticking out the top for the fuse (make sure you get it sealed up well everywhere or else it won't work, the more tape the better)
- jam wire-end into the ground and light

This. 

Electrical tape works the best, imo.  Make sure to wrap them as close to airtight as you can get.

Might wanna take a few steps back after lighting... Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the tip.  I will try that on a ton of old wire sparklers I've had for 2 decades at least.  Sounds like a good way to get rid of them. 

My favorite fireworks are the "Zingers", aka "Speed Balls", aka "Twister Stix", aka "Flying Ground Bloom Flowers".  They have different names because multiple firework companies produce the same thing but give it a different name.  Best quality brand of fireworks I would recommend is Brothers.  A little on the pricey side but well worth it in quality.  I ran a fireworks stand for five years when I was younger.  Absolutely loved it.  Should get back into the biz.

In many cases, they are not worth it, especially the great big stuff with $50+ price tags.  I think you can have a great time with the smaller stuff if you know what to look for.  You can spend a lot more time shooting them and it won't cost very much.  I love price shopping and bargain-hunting at different fireworks stands too.  There is often a huge variance in prices between stands.  I've seen things at one stand sell for 20 cents that are priced at $2 at another stand for the exact same thing.  It's not uncommon to see things three or four times as high at certain stands.  Many times there will be one or two items priced very reasonably as a "come-on" in hopes you will buy more stuff while you are there.  I literally can't drive by a stand without stopping.  I've been known to visit about 20 different stands in a day driving from my parents house back to Manhattan.  I also love going to Missouri to get a bunch of the stick rockets and smuggle them into Kansas.   :D

OMG, that was awesome.  Tried it last night with several packs of sparklers and electrical tape, only I forgot the part about putting it in the ground.  I gave it to my best buddy to hold.  (Thank God he didn't let is 5-year-old hold it.)  Burned him good, but he dropped it in time to not get 3rd degree burns.   :lol:
