It seems like as I get up in years it is getting harder and harder to light and run. I do a lot of hobbling these days. On the other hand it seems like a major convenience these days to mount all of the fireworks for a show for friends and neighbors without having time lapses by reloading and lighting new ground novelties and shells. I've been seeing a lot of hype on wireless ignition systems which let you shoot a number of displays by pressing buttons. At the same time the cost is at a premium for a hobbyist like me--$300 to $600 dollars. I'm not looking at buying a car or being a professional in fireworks displays. I just want to have some fun and entertain friends and neighbors.
In talking with more and more folks involved in fireworks and in talking with hobbyists, I've found a site where I can get something more in my price range, has wireless capabilities but just lacks some of the bells and whistles of some of the more professional systems.
In two weeks (week of October 18th) I'll be putting up a review of some of the wireless systems that I've been trying out. Sorry I can get this to you tonight. I would like another couple of weeks to talk with folks at CrackerJacks to find out what they've been doing. Please take a look at my site then for a review of some systems and video clips on how at least one of them works.

My Favorite for General Supplies
This is the best, most reasonably priced vendor that I've found for fuses and other general supplies in the industry.
They are fast, dependable, and the prices are not inflated. This site is perfect for the hobbyist needs for chemicals.
Rich and Claudia provide a great service in pyro tools. They show the standard set of tools on their site and also provide customized tools. Prices are inexpensive and well worth the quality received.
This is a great site for economical ignition systems.
