Is it just me or does anyone else love the smell of fireworks after shooting them off?
AnthonyZ Who dis and old shotgun shells. Love that smell
Love it.
I like the smell of them before being lit
I gotta admit that I do
AnthonyZ Who dis I love it
I think I’m sold on removing the tops now. I can’t stand raking up label debris! Plus, it’s more fun to put the extra time in before the show (while you’re still excited and filled with anticipation) instead of after the show when you’re hot, dirty, and exhausted
Same here! I'll spend weeks out there working on stuff already. Even when there is nothing else to do, the anticipation is my favorite part lol. Its like vacation, afterwards its like well now what? Haha. Leading up to it and the day of are unmatched!
Yes there’s A LOT of repetition in this video but some things cannot be stressed enough, especially when we are dealing with EXPLOSIVES :)
Enjoyed your new years show. Hey what was the name of firework company you said you can order online year round?
James Mehaffey Red Apple Fireworks
@@CodyBPyrotechnics awesome thank you.
CodyBPyrotechnics where do you get your fireworks from
Fireworks Forever is another good store
I never was sure if the top labels should or should not be removed, but I also think it’s super helpful for cleanup afterwards.
I've loved fireworks since I was about 4 years old
john paul same bro, once it gets in your blood there’s no going back
john paul same I shot a 2 or 3 inch shell when I was a baby they had to carry me and move my hand to light the firework 😂😂
Same me too😊😊
Luckily your hand is still on there? 😉
Fire works are the best
I like to cut them open to see what I'm working with for a show. If it's damaged you can prevent a mishap.
Unless your a rare breed who likes cleaning up paper trash, cut the tops
I feel like having the tops off is better..mostly the mess issues like u've stated. Nice video keep um coming!
I’m glad you went into detail about this I allways removed the top just in case
Thank you for taking to time to always acknowledge your fans. Definitely the best firework channel.
Just found your videos this year, great content!! Love cutting the tops off as well for less mess plus some of the pics I use for scrap books for my next year research.
I agree i always take the top off i don't like cleaning the mess up
What I like about leaving on the tops is the art on the cakes. I'm big on the visual aspect as well as performance obviously but I can see the pros and cons of leaving on the tops and taking of the tops now that I've watched this video. Thanks for the video definitely informative.
Just wanted to say I really appreciate this one. Makes a lot of sense. Sadly, never even thought about the clean up! Thanks!
glad you done this video. always confused me seeing videos of the tops off and them with them up. thank you for clearing things up
The only reason I don't cut the tops off anymore is because you automatically will know when something didn't fire. I love your videos because they are very informative
I’ve always loved lightning fireworks and making malotov cocktails with gas. A pyromaniac indeed, I very much enjoy your videos.
Great vid Cody. I personally leave the paper on...less chance of fuse jump and mainly when shooting a bunch of cakes it is easy to tell if the cake shot or not.
I do both. I cut the top mostly off, leaving just a corner attached but keep the label covering the top. I'll secure the top on the opposite corner with a very small piece of tape if it's windy. This seems to cut down on mess as the whole top usually just blows right off on the first shot but also offers some protection from anything that could fall into the cake before it is fired.
😮A shirt with a cake and letters saying take your top off would be awsome🤣😂
1) less mess
2) check for damaged tubes
3) the angle of the tubes
Those are my basic 3 reasons. I love showing guys how to fuse and do small shows and I try to get them into the habit of removing the top labels.
Thank you so much man, lol I’ve been thinking about this for a while if I should do it with the top or without it, and I think I like the top less method better, I like how you really went into details for your viewers, and make us see the pros and cons, amazing job on that bro, again, thanks for the information, I really appreciate
Keep up the good work my friend
I always remove the tops off to see if their are any loose tubes or defects. I have a Running on Empty 500 gram 25 shot fan cake this year that had a broken/loose section on the outer edge of the cake so I taped it up with duct tape and it's good as new. Had I not checked it someone may have been injured by a faulty cake that I lit so I could be responsible for any injury. It's in everyone's best interest to do this.
On one of the tours i was on, I had a fire Inspector in Texas do a walk around with me showing him all the pyro positions behind the stage, he made a comment about the plastic thats wrapped around the big Type4 mines. he said "Wont the plastic affect the height of them firing?" then i tore of the plastic off one of the mines... I said " stretch this out in front of your face and i will punch it at full speed" then he said " OK!, i get it"
Honestly a good way to explain 😂😂😂
Yea I bet u did
Lmfao that’s one hell of a way to explain
I love your vids bro, I used to be so afraid of fireworks when I was little and now I’m in love with them and the 4th is my favorite holiday , you inspire the pyro in me (I turned 19 yesterday)
thekylerossman thank you ❤️
Happy late birthday bro!
CodyBPyrotechnics thank you! This made my day
Cool
I actually looking for this. Thank's for the good info! ~Greetings from the Philippines!
Great demo, thank you for sharing! I’ve always been a fan of removing the tops just for the mess. Never heard of any of the other silly stuff.
Nice vid. I already knew all of this but I'm sure it is useful info for new folks. Love that cake by the way! Going to have to check it out. Would love to see some videos showcasing your favorite pairings and why.
I like the mess afterwards. It’s really photogenic and I don’t clean it until the next morning anyway. It’s fun to reminisce about the night before and usually I have a bonfire when I’m doing fireworks so I rake all the debris in the fire pit and they slowly burn off. I’m still new enough at backyard fireworks that it’s exciting to see the boxes the next morning.
Thanks for making this video! Just what I was looking for.
That’s why I used to be a pyro for class B shoots I love the multiple breaks in the sky Cody did a great Job explaining pros and cons I love the smells afterward of a big shoot
Thank you for this video. It is my 1st time setting off cake fireworks and I couldn't find anything about removing the top until this video. The box with out the top seemed much better. I'm not sure if that is just a coincidence, but I'll be taking the top off of mine for ease of clean up if nothing else.
One of the best things you’ve said in this video is that “ you do actually care about ur subscribers”!!! That is such a true statement. Truly one of the best channels on UA-cam my friend. 👍👍👍 and again too...send me a link to where u sell ur “labels” please. Thanks cody
I unfortunately wasn’t selling anything, I just posted a picture of some labels the other day that (as kind of a joke) to see if anyone wanted to buy them but I got made fun of LOL
I’m trying to up my game on fireworks but am a newbie for the cake style. This was very helpful!
I agreed with you on taking tops off the cake. Let's also not forget that professional pyros do cover their shells with plastic to protect against rain. Which doesn't affect how the shells performance.
I always take the tops off, especially if I'm doing a display on someone else's property. Waaay easier clean up!!
I find your videos very informative and interesting. Carry on the good work
Excellent video , loved hearing the pros and cons! I do it to reduce the mess.
I seen about 10 of your videos in the past few days and just wanted to say thank you for all the information.
3:05 then how does it work for molded cakes, I know it doesn’t really make a difference tho because paper doesn’t last long against explosives
so remove tops on smaller cakes so they don’t tip over just in case
Great video man. Thank you for taking a timer to explain this to us all of us appreciate it.
Hi I love your channel sm and keep up the good work man
Just found your videos after 4th of July this year to research how we can have a better fireworks experience. Really informative videos. Thx
Take em off...makes a HUGE difference on clean up... Totally agree!!! Great job Cody
I just got my fireworks ready for new years eve. $4k in fireworks and that was alot of tops I had cut off. It just felt right for me to do it. Nice to see they shoot alot easier. Thanks for the tip and Happy New Years!🎆
Thanks for the info
I’m a fairly new subscriber. I enjoy the content, value and knowledge. As far as “marketing” you are absolutely doing it right! More importantly, the Value and Knowledge you provide is outstanding! I’m a HUGE Fireworks aficionado and do a Private Show every Year here in Wisconsin. Thanks for sharing
I’ve never considered removing the paper. Glad to see this video. Great channel
I like all your content. Keep doing what you are doing! It's great
I took the tops off my last display, after seeing you do it, and it made a big difference in clean up time. I’ll alway cut off the tops from now on.
Great video Cody! Lots of great info. Keep it up!!
Something I was always wondering about and you answered all my questions...thank you!
we recommend for 2 key reasons saves on cleanup and the shells go a little higher when they dont have to blast thru extra plastic and cardboard. we also say to cut 3 sides and make a flap that you either peel off or just fold back before lighting to help if not covered from a spark.
Thanks for the info.
Been looking for this video thanks
I really like this channel! It's different, but like no other.
Keep it up👍
Usually if im just shooting a few i remove the tops for mess. But when im doin a big show i leave em because it makes it easier to tell if a cake stopped midway through. So i dont throw a half shot cake in the burn pile
That tipping thing happened to me shot one at the house
Dude. Keep doing what you’re doing. I love your videos.
Thanks very informative for this new guy to the big boy fireworks.
This is just another example of an excellent video. Great job!
Great video. Thanks for the information.
thank you! very helpful for 4th of july!
Love the smell after, been loving it since I was young and will always be shooting off fireworks 🎆.
Question? With the top not removed could the smoke cause the fuse to burn slower? As to why the second one you lit shot off faster?
Like yourself, I prefer to cut the top off and you're right it makes less of a mess. Thanks Cody!
Thank you Cody. I like informative content like this.
I always thought about this !!! Thank you
My feedback: Cody, you blow
Up a lot of fireworks so keep it up.
I'm so glad you did this video. My friends just asked me why I cut the tops off. I told them cause I watch Cody on UA-cam
Love YOUR videos CODY,I will always be a subscriber. 🧨💣🎆🤯
Thanks for that info!!
I like the 50/50 thoughts you have about it. I keep it on..great video bro!
Very good info. Thank you
Awesome info here and yes I have been doing this what you are saying for yrs of fireworks removing the top paper off to reduce paper waste on the ground and they work awesome aka flawless victory
I know this is weird and a little off topic of video, but I always find it fascinating how intricate the artwork is on different firework brands. A lot of attention focused on disposable housing.
I think it would be cool to see some nice finale cakes. Even tho I’m sure you’ve done similar vids.
I have done both. The clean up is more intense when you don't remove the top. Does save time for set up. Of I remove the tops, I'll do it the day before the show to help save time.
Awesome cake 🤟🏽 I’ve never really taken off the top unless it’s plastic wrapped 👍🏼
Enjoyed your video. Thanks.
Hello. This was my first year doing Ariel fireworks and had a blast. Leaving the paper on does that restrict the height of the shot at all verse having the top open?
Thanks for the information - had never bought repeaters before always did single shot with 8 launch tubes so this was helpful!
Thank you! This was precisely what I needed.
I always remove the tops from ALL my cakes simply to reduce the clear up at the end of the show.
I would like to thank you for your videos Cody. I am planning a big 4th of July party this year. I have bought over $2000 in fire works from Red Apple. By watching your videos I have learned many things, like fusing mortar tubes, cakes together. and I enjoy the different fireworks you shoot off. Always looking for a different cake or shell to help my show. thanks again.
Have a great show!
@@RobbyceeI’m sure he did 3 years ago, lol, but I heard red apple had a bad batch of products THIS YEAR
Oh believe me your videos are awesome, love all the info even though I've been lighting shit off for 30 years. Never to old to learn new shit
Thanks man keep it up,,.what cake has the rotating candles back an forth
I like to take the tops off because i can see the tubes and it looks more professional plus everything you said. I’m planning on taking the wrapping off of canister shells this year so that theres less of that mess as well.
Thanks. Was wondering about this issue.
I was just talking to someone about how you take the tops off if all your cakes but I didn’t know why. Guess I gotta watch this video!
Very instructive and informative. Thanks.
Saved me some time thanks for the info Cody
Great videos bro keep it up
Good info. thanks.
Nice cake ! And sspeed and layout
Keep up the good work love your vids
I love your videos man
Very informational thank you!
Informative **
Definitely doing this this year for the clean up time. But i was wondering Cody... does leaving the top on make it louder as it breaks through the paper upon launch? Cause i heard that it makes it louder. But i doubt it. Can you clarify? And does leaving the paper on lower the height of the firework display?
