Noticeable Differences between FROZEN FIREWORKS & Regular Fireworks: 1. Lace effects seem to be delayed in an unusual way. This may be because the composition used to make a lace is wet or partially wet when loaded into the shell casing? Can anyone confirm this? 2. Fuses take longer to light. 3. Mine effects may break lower. Not sure if this is a direct cause of freezing or something like the lace effect. 4. Cakes tip over a lot easier (this may be due to the shells inside the tubes expanding with the cold. Cannot confirm this either). 5. Connector-cake type fireworks seem dysfunctional. This might not be a direct result of the freezing, but based on the fuses not wanting to light I have to assume it’s because of the cold. CONCLUSION: storing fireworks in an area that experiences DRY HEAT and EXTREME DRY COLD is likely safe. However, storing fireworks in an area that experiences HUMID HOT AIR and EXTREME WET COLD is probably not the best idea. What an interesting test!
As an American whose grandfather kept OG M80s in his freezer as a matter of routine and floated them down the creek to me whenever we went fishing, can confirm they are freezer stable
I think the tip overs and the fact that you don't hear the shells rattle are related. The cardboard tubes shrink ever so slightly when cold. The shells being filled with comp don't shrink as much if at all. Then on the last shot when all the other shells are gone, there's just enough excess pressure to have enough recoil to tip the empty cake over.
This happen to me, someone gifted me a 200 gram cake because for some reason I suggested it on a whim. There's one problem, we both work on a military base and I got scared. Out of fear it would suddenly ignite in my locker, I hid the cake in the freezer til it's time to go home. I secretly gave it to my brother (for some reason my dad doesn't like the idea of lighting off fireworks). Last time I check he still has it and never lit it off.
Moisture is the key here. As long as there is no moisture in these cakes, there is nothing to freeze and fuse together. Completely dry ingredients will work just fine.
That was very enjoyable and it's surprising that you didn't have a lot of drgs I mean dud's You have a lot of dedication to your expertise. I mean how many of us normal pyromaniacs would get out in -15 °to do a review? Thank you for saving us the chill and the pain . But from now on I will call you CODI B POP POP POP CYCLE ,LOL😂
Actually opposite Cody fridge acts dehumidifiers so technically it’s making it burn more efficiently… which also makes reports louder. But makes willows burn shorter but brighter Japan put their show fireworks for that reason
I am so glad you did this video. I am doing a 90 cake show up here in Canada in two night where the temperature will be -20C when I shoot using my new Cobra system. I am thinking of putting hand warmers on the batteries.
I did a little show for my granddaughter's birthday (as requested) and it was the end of January and single digits. It was scary. Lift seemed most affected 😲
Cody, I wonder if you could get liquid nitrogen and immerse some fireworks blocks in it, if not, a mixture of dry ice and alcohol. Now that would be a test of COLD!!! Anyway, great results, mostly! Cheers, Rik Spector
Sooo, could you use deep freezing to pull water out of damp fireworks? Or will leaving them long enough to become frosted screw up the works? Or is water such a puny foe that it doesn't matter?
Because the effect a freezer may have on them could be different than the weather. I thought moisture may play a part in this, and I’ve lit fireworks off in -40 degrees before
Hey Cody b here is a very interesting fun fact if you can find a way to pull this one off if you able to read this, and why don't you try why don't you dip this one in a firework and see if it would work after you you dumbCryogenic Liquid . On to the fireworks and then see if it works...🎉🎉🎉

What a legend
Good man!
Lol fucking awesome!!

nice feurwerk Cody
Frozen to even more frozen is pretty frozen ⛄❄️🎄
Classical fire vs. Ice

This is exactly what I was thinking!
Not only that the gunpowder stronger
Cudos to you showing us some more great fireworks in some extreme conditions
Most fireworks in the Northeast are stored in steel storage containers outside in the cold they freeze all the time
I know, but not everyone knows that!
awesome video my man thank u so very much

Always wonderful to see. Thank you 🎉❤
As an Albanian we kept dynamite in our outdoor frost box. Just the way our grandfather showed us.
If you do this again you should freeze it in water and leave the fuse out
M80's will still work just fine like that
That’s the best idea!!!
Liquid nitrogen Sub-Zero temperatures should do the trick🎄🎄🎄💙
Hell yeah, this is how ya branch out! Definitely an interesting direction!

King Cobra was like can of worms biggified
Even a mongoose would have broken teeth after tangling with a frozen cobra😢
@joemanson2217 I mean, I could see that being an issue lolz
I sold fireworks in Indiana and we stored millions of dollars in fireworks in an unheated warehouse, they survived just fine,
My man you are shivering 🥶😂
Just got back into fireworks so gonna be binging your videos

Very cool experiment 😎
Can of worms is a cake that I always buy like 10 of because it's pretty dope for such a little cheap cake
All good!
That was a good experiment.
Fun times
😎😎😎👍👍👍💥💥💥
I'd imagined they would work but I'm gonna guess the issues would start if you tried thawing them out which could obviously introduce moisture.

Great idea, the hand warmers do work!! In fact I just got to see this in action recently and it makes a difference from what I could tell
You can also check how they behave after being in a vacuum, just an idea
Almost Christmas will we have a Christmas only fireworks video
Preference was light speed 🎆

imo it looks tighter and brighter but the bang is a bit muted. dry, cold, less humid?...
Crasy how they all work
Day 2 of asking for majin buu 8” shells and day 9 of asking for Peking opera 8
It depends if he's able to het those shells there's a video where he said all of the good stuff are way more expensive
@PyroBrockie- that is true, I think the majin buus are like 300-350 American dollars, and the Peking opera 8 about the same
Sooo, could you use deep freezing to pull water out of damp fireworks? Or will leaving them long enough to become frosted screw up the works? Or is water such a puny foe that it doesn't matter?
It's minus 26 celsius. I would not go outside with those temperatures😮
Nice
i think some of them had a darker colour
I wonder if they still work if you put them in the freezer in December and put them out of the freezer and light them on the 4th of July? 🤔
I saw a UFO fly across the screen.
hello cody
Why didnt you just leave them outside over night??
Because the effect a freezer may have on them could be different than the weather. I thought moisture may play a part in this, and I’ve lit fireworks off in -40 degrees before
From frozen to frozeder? 🤷🏼♂️😂🫨

Fireworks are a chemical reaction, their temperature should not matter. moisture is the only thing that can make the change.
Do you live in canada? Negative temperatures don't happen in the U.S
They absolutely do happen in the US. In a few states. I live in North Dakota, which borders Canada. 2 years ago or so, it was -68 here.
Iowa has seen -50 degrees a couple winters ago 🤷🏼♂️
