All guys, what kind of fireworks are your favorite?

I'd have to say shells, there's sooo many effects you can have in a shell and you can get such a big burst from them compared to any other projectile.

But what's your display plan in 2007?

Catherine wheels are all time fave either the traditional spiral sort or the opposing rockets on a card.
Cuckoo fountains are pretty cool as are Roman candles, and I like most things that show a good Blue color.

I`m not one for these Air-b**b salutes, they seem kinda pointless to me, as do these screech-pop rockets, although I used to like the Old bangers (Brocks or Standard), they were reasonably harmless, and sounded well in a metal ash bin, although that`s going back a good 30+ years.

I prefer Visuals to Sounds.

A mine. Espesically mines with inserts that aren't just stars.

4" flash salute shells

thud

[Caramanos2000]

Shells no doubt.

[RangerOfFire]

I'd have to say catherine wheels (not driver wheels). No particular reason, I just like them.

[Bonny]

Shells are my favorite, as sizzle said you can have so many effects from a shell!

I'd have to say catherine wheels (not driver wheels). No particular reason, I just like them.

I`m not sure what "Driver wheels" are, but I`ve seen some catherine wheels with a high spin rate and a good 5+ metre spread and multi colored too, Great Stuff
although you`ll need a bit more than a nail in the side of the shed to deploy something like that!

[RangerOfFire]

According to PyroGuide(.com) a driver wheel is "turned by the force of drivers which are attached tangentially to the wheel". As opposed to a catherine wheel which is like a roll of fuse-like material (can't describe it properly, maybe someone else can?).

Basically a driver wheel is as you put it "opposing rockets on a card".

[portfire]

Catherine wheels use drivers,but i believe what your referring to are 'pinwheels'.

I may be young but I am no sucker for salutes.

I prefer multi-stage star shells.

It is hard to beat a good mine, especialy if it hapens to have a couple of shells in it. I have always been a sucker for combinations of colour and streamer effects, especialy blue or red and charcoal. But what I hate, is Saturn missile batteries. What a crap it was to make a device that goes on and on and uses nothing but whistling and cracking. I know that both whistles and little crackers have their places, but to make a device which has nothing but them is just plain annoying.
