Nice shells, I would be careful about reloading while the mortar is still smoking, you never know if there is a burning ember at the bottom that will send that shell skyward while you are reloading
Safety Tip Using multiple tubes is a suggestion because of cooling time. I would be afraid of loading a shell into a mortar tube which was still smoking and having my hand over the mortar tube. I just want you to be safe and keep both your hands. Excellent Shells
Typically I do. I have tons of racks. But when demoing shells/playing around I just use a single mortar. There isn’t enough oxygen at the bottom to allow combustion so it’s usually safe if it’s a little smoke
@@midwestpyrotechnics318 Usually Safe But remember there's always that one time where something could happen and it only takes one time for something tragic. I don't want anything bad happening to you is all. I love fireworks too.
Lidu shells are on my wish list for sure along with some Vulcan shells too. Those had nice vivid colors and good breaks. I also see you're packing a Kershaw Cryo knife. Thats a great budget blade that I also use as one of my everyday carry blades. Sorry, I'm a pyro and a knife guy, lol.
I just started my apprenticeship up here in Maine, but the man I am working under uses road flares to light his off... it helps keep you a bit away from the shells as you light!! But once I get my license I will be using this type of product... bad ass man!
So I’ve read online that the biggest shells consumer grade firework enthusiasts can buy are 3 inch shells but I see 7 inch canister shells being sold are they talking about artillery shells? Or what I’m super confused because all the artillery shells I see are not 3 inches across or are they talking about diameter??
Consumer is 1.4g and when your seeing 4”,5”,6” they’re talking about heights of the shell. Display fireworks or 1.3g when people say they are 3” or 4” this is referring to diameter of the shell
What are those torches you pyro guys like to use to light your fireworks? They look like they would be very handy because they would make lighting your shells a lot quicker and easier. I'm also interested in the electronic ignition systems, I've found one on the market so far, the Cobra system. Any other recommendations you might have? I'm going to apply for my commercial pyro license soon. Any advice you could give me on this? Thanks thank you for any advice you can give me.
Those are very pretty but I'd bury that steel mortar and avoid ever putting a hand over a smoking mortar when loading. Also, salutes shot from a steel mortar is a big no-go.
Man I just wish I had some of these 1.3 shells !!! Pyrotechnic is my hobby, I'm 20 when I turn 21 I'll definitely have to check out the license for 1.3... because obviously I can't purchase 1.3 with out it 😬
If you get caught with those where i live the police either start rubbing their hands together like we got another one or they get stomach cramps and start to tell you you could have blown up the entire block.
So you see a fire burning less than 2’ from where you’re firing and you don’t stomp it out? You do know embers fly into the air? That’s one of the dumbest and most irresponsible things I’ve ever seen in pyro. Wow. Just wow.
I love it when I see display operators class B reloading a smoking mortar. One of the number one things you’re taught not to do.

Very Nice! That fuse must make your heart jump every time you light.
It’s a thrill to hand light them
I shot mostly lidu shells in my 14 year career...really good stuff.
Beautiful shells. Those were some great effects. 5:46 loved that one
Top notch shells. Thanks for sharing

@@himesjon The company I am apprenticing for shoots only shells no cakes... Hand firing shells helps choreograph the show better..

Better than a computerized firing system that you can synchronize precisely with a program?
Lidu will be my all time favorites
Lidu is a great brand in my eyes and sweet video, thank you
That propane torch is not messing around, it's just getting those puppies lit fast.
Great video!! And the shells were amazing!!

Nice demo🤙🏾
Those are really nice high quality shells for 3”s
Man this shells are beautiful 😁👍🎇
I love fierworks
Very cool shells

Super stuff you have there
Thanks
How much work did it take to get your license
are you using metal pipe for the tubes? if so, how thick of a pipe is that?
I can’t remember to be honest but probably 1/8inch

Why is it that some of the canisters shells have longer hang time willows than these displays....
Where do you get your lidu shells
How long and wide are the tube you used for this video?
Nice video man I liked and subbed, can I light up these display shells on an hdpe tube ?
Nice
What ATF license do you have ?
R u going to do more of those shells
Yes I will probably be using these more often
Can you make a video how to put a quickmatch into firework shell?
Those are very pretty but I'd bury that steel mortar and avoid ever putting a hand over a smoking mortar when loading. Also, salutes shot from a steel mortar is a big no-go.
What type of license do you need to purchase these and would these have to be ordered online or can you pick them up through the manufacturer?
ATF type 54 license. Can’t really order them online
Come to Poland, you'll find shells like these almost everywhere :D
How long and wide is the tube?
How much was that whole box, it had 72 shells right?
Around 300 and yes
@@midwestpyrotechnics318 cool, thanks
@@midwestpyrotechnics318 woah that’s cheap where did you buy it from
@@torresthemonster
Midwest has his license I’m 99.99% certain of it, these are dirt cheap with a license.
@PyroGhost007 how much do people pay for them with a plug? I'm honestly curious
Just picked up a case with my local fireworks dealer..600 for 72 shells.
Wow, you won't live very long lighting shells like that. May want to NOT load shells into a smoking/hot mortar.
Where did you order these threw?
Where do you purchase?
I’m in Ohio🎇🧨🎆
Could you connect a safety fuse to the black Match to give you more time?
Just zip tie or tape a piece of any fuse on it
Cut the black match off altogether on a 45 degree angle....stay low and let it rip
Use about 4 inches of red fuse

Not currently

Do you need a business or plan to start a fireworks business to get a display fireworks license?
Technically yes
So you can't get a license solely for personal use?
@@midwestpyrotechnics318technically you're completely wrong lol.
Its been 1 year but you said "ladoo" lol
