Where do you buy pyro tubes?

I have searched the internet and the forum to no avail. All tips you have are welcome.

Well...you didn't search very long did you?
There is a 3 page topic about tubes search and you will find.

What type of tubes do you want?

I am looking for 1/4" id tubes. They need to have thick walls, since I want to use them for small salutes. Just contacted Keten to find out what they have to offer.

1/4" is a bit small for salutes

1/4" is a bit small for salutes

Not nessecarily. My goal is not to blow a hole in my lawn, merely to have something that goes boom.

In Sweden they had a firecracker called "Thunderking". This had a mangaluim flash powder, an inner diameter no bigger than 1/4". Still it was so powerful that politicians acted as soon as it came on the market, and outlawed the sales of all firecrackers.

If I used the term salute incorrectly, I apologize. I meant a firecracker.

Thank you for theese shops. I am still awaiting an offer from the Polish company.

Oh, I loved Thunderking. I still have three of them in my closet, though not the original stuff; it's three of those coloured things they made to get around the law.

I remember a Thunderking falling on the side on a road out in the woods. When it went off, a small pebble from the road hit my back, so that I had real pain the rest of the evening, and I wore thick clothes...

I remember the "ThunderKing", IIRC both were Blackcat?, either way they packed a punch and glad you can't get them anymore (lets thank stupid kids for that).........By my statement I mean, they were good when used properly and not by idiots!!!

Blackcat and Svea Fireworks sold them in Sweden. They were nice.
