What are your top 3 fireworks that you have set off this year?
For me its:

1. Airboss (Brothers)........ 20-30 seconds ish of the sky on fire!
2. 3" ball rocket ....... Big bang, big effect.
3. Rengade mine (i think by Cube)...... Caught everyone by suprise.

hmmm. big question

1 My selection of 3 year old Proton B09Bs
2 4XUltimate fear 4" - Fired at a friends party - no video - firing + recording = NO NO
3 A small selction of fountains, mines, and small bore shells...http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Sel6O52IOBs

Tough one but here goes:

In numerical order:

3) Palms Away by MenShun. Extremely pleased with this one as the sky was filled with beautiful glowing palm effects.
2) Triple H Bomb by Fireworks International. My only regret here being I wish I fired two at once.
1) Towering Inferno by Brightstar. Not the best in my opinion but it was the biggest barrage we had so it has to be number one. Some nice mixed effects.

Next year though it's a trip to Epic for me!

Really like the Goldeneye fan mine cake, the Blue Blitz rapid fire cake, and of course the 4 and 6 inch shells at a pro show I assisted with.

[Aftershock]

For me as follows:

3 - For sheer wow and power - Ultimate Devastation
2 - Bit more duration and excellent build up - Tank Buster
1 - Overall best especially when price is considered - Heavy Duty

Liked many others this year and all are from Epic as didnt buy anywhere else this year.

[Alexander Martin]

Epic only appear to sell decent barrages which is good to know .

Consumer:

1 Black Cat HPP2
2 Gunpowder Plot Fanned Planet i think maybe Borthers
3 Vortex something was very good also Planet or brothers, i coupled this with bird of prey which i really like.

Pro:

1 Shells shells shells
2 Brocade mine to blue tips cake not sure of the manufacturer of it...
3 Poisoness Spider by kimbolton. Always a favourite of mine.

My top 3 barrages this year had to be:

Awaken - Massive spread and really filled the sky.

Heavy Duty - Really underestiamted this firework, great performance and what a bargain at the price as well.

Hercules - Despite the increase in the RRP this year it can still be bought at places for a lot lower so its still a fantastic firework.

Best Rocket

To me (when all things considered, price etc) its got to be Sky Thriller just edging out The King.

Best Cat 2 firework

No doubt about it Krazy Klock - Sucks you in to a false sense of expectation when the hands spin round to produce a nice little wheel and then away we go with a brilliant fountain arrangement.

[Prestonboi]

My top 3 is...

Brothers Choice Imperial - Total sky filling firework and amazing to watch.

Fragma (Paramount) or King Cobra (Oriental Fireworks), sorry can't decide! Same as above and lovely effects, King Cobra nice and loud.

Heavy Duty - Excellent firework, lovely effects, great value and wow factor.

Mmm seems like a few of you like Heavy Duty, personally I've never seen it but will defiantly try to find it next yeah now.

Considering its just over £10 I think including the Vat it really is excellent value, its not even that big in dimensions but does weigh alot for its size, should have gave away it was going to be good!

Bri did Awaken finish very quickly? Had it last year but didnt put it on my list again this year.
