usapyro Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It's been tested thoroughly. It's 1/3rd as powerful as willow.http://www.creagan.net/fireworks/charcoal_tests.html I don't think different types of bamboo are going to make any difference.

AirCowPeacock Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Perhaps for charcoal stars, or other stars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usapyro Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hmmm... I wonder if anyone knows if it's good for sparks... My top wood for sparks that I know of so far is pine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirCowPeacock Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I might try some Pinecone petal charcoal here in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good article...I still might dry some for sparks and tails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I tried some... I think it's poor stuff, to be honest. It's loaded with minerals, silicate and the like. And the intact bamboo sections can explode in a fire. If you've never burned bamboo, try it, it's wild! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
