  • In this demonstration, we will test fireworks that are in excess of 3-6 years old, and test their strength. Fireworks are great when they are purchased fresh off the market, but does it really matter if they are new? Enjoy.
    Fireworks lit off:
    Firecrackers
    Ground Bloom Flowers
    Moon Travel bottle rocket
    Zip fireworks

    One of the things that sets 1.4 Consumer Fireworks apart from 1.3 Professional Fireworks is the chemicals used to make them can not degrade over time. So as long as you keep them dry and protected they will still light. The colors may Dull out over time or the bang may not be as Good. But it will most likely still Perform.

    I had a matt of Black Cats that my father gave me in 1976. They were like 20 years old. He said he was saving them for the Bicentennial and when I was old enough. Today I wish I saved them. Keep them in a cool dry place and they'll last. I had practically no duds with that matt. I didn't even need to go fireworks shopping last year because of the staggering amount of leftovers. Plenty of cakes from buying stuff by the case or wholesale over the years. I had spinners, firecrackers and the bottle rockets that were most of the duds. The jumping jacks were terrible. They were awesome and came in 16per pack when I was a kid. The cakes, some a decade old worked fine and the same with canister shells.

    as long as fireworks are kept in a low humidity environment and not in a damp basement or garage, they will work as intended I personaly found a stash of vintage class C fireworks in a wall of a house that we were renovating , receipt still in one of the many boxes found showed 7-1 -1971 .
    Being the pyro that I am, I of course had to light them , everything worked like new

    I guess it all depends on storage, how good or bad they still work over time.
    I've seen firecrackers from the 70's, 80's and 90's, work just as good as they worked back then.
    Afaik, dry storage is the most important thing with fireworks, and that also includes the humidity in the air.

    all those years and still worked remarkably well after four decades or so, thats
    the stuff people collect though that is valuable and most don’t like to burn that
    stuff off.
