    The Proper Way to Light Fireworks

    So my cousin (from my wife's side) came over to help the kids enjoy some fireworks. Took one look at my barbeque lighter and comes back from his truck with this.

    He's an ironworker so he tends to have a lot of tools in his truck. Worked well enough

    Another alternative used when I was younger was a regular highway flare. They burned for a good time and gave off nice light at the same time (as long as you like red).
