Making salute/firecracker with airpocket inside?

Can someone please help me. Is it better that i leave airgap inside my ground salutes? I'm having lots of trouble with end plugs flying out. Also, the tubes i'm trying to blow up are THICC. I think they may be too thick. I'm using KNO3+MG flash powder.

I see the problem. You need to add charcoal to the mix, and then press it really hard into your thick tube. Then press in a clay plug, you know, to help it "splode" better. Then drill a hole in the clay plug and insert a fuse. Light the fuse, get back, and enjoy your "ground bomb".

 

In summary, no air space, and the clay plug will not fly out.
