We have placed all of our orders for 2012 and promise some great new items!  Along with all of our returning best sellers we are excited to see some new 500g, 200g and reloadable shells.  Not much has changed as far as legal limits this year, but new manufacturing technologies are producing some of the loudest fireworks we have heard in a long time!  We will update as soon as the new items start arriving from China after the first of the year with images and videos so you can judge for yourself! If all goes well we should start seeing containers arrive late winter and will update the site asap.  One of the things were excited about is some shells we saw one factory is making, instead of hand wrapping the shells they have started using a wrapping machine they have invented which results in more symmetrical, consistent higher quality breaks in the sky.

Items such as M-80’s, M-100’s, M-1,000’s….and everything similarly named is pretty much a gimmick these days as true M-80’s and their quarter stick of dynamite performance were made illegal long ago.  Today the loudest firework items available on the ground are standard firecrackers limited to 50mg of composition, so how does one cracker end up sounding better then another?  We asked this same question while in China and were shown several brands from different factories and the answer is simple….quality.  The best firecrackers are rolled tighter and have better crimped or plugged ends with less air space inside as well as a higher quality fuse for lower failure rates.  We tested over 12 different brands before we settled on the Dominator crackers for their high quality.

Halloween is just weeks away, have you figured out that one thing that will make your yard or porch over the top “spooktacular” yet?  Candles are boring…

How about some pyrotechnic pumpkins!  This guy used toothpicks to support a pie tin with a rag soaked in lighter fluid to get a long lasting flaming pumpkin.

Diwali 2011 will be celebrated Wednesday, October 26th.  Diwali, also known as the “Festival of Lights” is one of the largest Indian holidays on the calendar celebrated in Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism.

Diwali is an official holiday celebrated in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mauritus, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Suriname, Malaysia, Singapore and Fiji.

The festival celebrates freedom and Diwali fireworks have become increasingly popular during the multi day celebration.  We think it’s only fitting for a holiday termed the “Festival of Lights” don’t you!  Happy Diwali!

In June 2011 Rhode Island removed itself from the dwindling list of states that make fireworks illegal.  Shops were adding signs and making last minute purchases to prepare for the coming 4th of July season with banner sales expected this first year.

Here is a list of consumer legal fireworks that are now allowed in Rhode Island, typically known as safe n sane fireworks to the industry, meaning no reloadable artillery shells, cakes, batteries or multi tube aerials.

Tis the season, as we head into these last couple weeks of June thousands of seasonal firework tents will be waving their flags, signs and banners trying to convince you theirs is the best.  Some of the advertisements can be quite comical and I have seen intersections in parts of the Midwest where as many as 6 tents can be seen from one location.

Mkay, we promised last month to get a video up explaining the rash of UFO sightings and videos on You Tube, some of which made National News stories!  We could have edited that post below but wanted this to stand alone.  When we emailed ABC news who carried the story for several days stating we had an explanation for the phenomenon and could recreate it easily…we were banned from posting on their site! We had hoped they would be interested in the truth for their viewers, we did the work…watch the video and you decide.
