Why use HDPE and not PVC?
HDPE is made from the same material as what you typically see in a shampoo bottle (take a look at the bottom next time you shower, see HDPE?).
It's plyable, yet strong. Also alot of milk jugs are made out of HDPE, but that's pretty thin. PVC is brittle. If you have a blowout or flower pot (basically a shell that breaks
in the motar tube) then you need a mortar tube that can absorb the pressure (HDPE). PVC will have a pipe bomb effect and you don't want to get that junk in your body!
HDPE tubes will expand and tear rather than shatter. Whatever you do, don't use PVC! PVC is often used for rocket racks... and
that's OK because the actual firework is not inside the PVC, only the stick goes into the PVC.
Can I pick up my order locally (we are located near Loveland, Ohio)?
Yes. Please send us a message and we will make it happen. Local pickups are by appointment.
Can you ship an order to my state?
We ship to any of the 50 states! That means we can ship to New York, California, Hawaii, Alaska, etc. If it's part of the 50 states in the USA, we will ship
to you. Currently we don't ship internationally. Hawaii and Alaska orders will probably ship USPS.

Can I combine my order if I missed something on my first order?
Yes and No! We are very busy in May, June and December. If you want to add to your order in any of these months we cannot accommodate this request. You will
need to place a second order. It's very difficult to manually manage these requests in the busy times of year. No matter what time of year it is and you
want to buy more items you will need place another order. In the event it's not May, June or December then please contact us immediately after your second order
and tell us to combine your order. Please include the order numbers!
What is the difference between a DR11 (Black/Orange 1.91") tube and a DR9 (Blue 1.81") tube and which one is better?
Our most popular tube (1.91" DR11) has an inner diameter (ID) of 1.91" and the blue DR9 has an ID of 1.81". The DR11 12" long mortar tube is the most common and most
universal mortar tube. If you don't know, we recommend the 1.91" ID 12" long DR11 (either black or orange). Why the DR9 1.81" then? The DR9 1.81" is used for smaller shells (i.e. festival ball).
Many firework shells actually fit into a DR9 mortar, but there no guarantee that your shells will fit into the 1.81" DR9 mortar. Again, when in doubt, go with DR11 12" long DR11. Yeah, we know
lots of ID and inches here. If this does not makes sense, then shoot us an email.

Will my 1.75" shells work in PYROBOOM mortars?
Yes. All consumer firework shells will work in our DR11 1.91" consumer mortar tubes. We recommend you purchase the 12" long DR11 mortar tubes if you don't know which tube to buy.
Why do most racks have a common factor of 6 (6, 12, 18, 36)?
Nearly all mortar shell kits you buy at the store come in packs of 6 or 12. We try to match those shell kits by making our racks that match what you buy.
How long will a HDPE PYROBOOM consumer firework mortar tube last?
HDPE mortars should last your lifetime. The plug probably won't make it that long. It's highly recommended that you inspect your empty mortars once a year. Look at the entire tube and take a good look at the plug. Make sure it is not loose. If it is, replace it! Keep your mortars clean by blowing them out with compressed air before your next show. Also common sense goes a long way. It’s not a good idea to keep your mortars outside if you live in Michigan's upper peninsula. Keep those tubes inside where it's dry, just like your fireworks.
When does my order ship?
Your delivery timeline depends on the size of your order and the time of year it is placed.
While we always do our best to ship your order as quickly as possible, please keep the following in mind:
Peak Seasons: Our busiest times of the year are May, June, the first week of July, and December. Lead times may be slightly longer than normal during these periods. Normal is 1-3 business days.
Estimated Dates: You can view your estimated delivery date on the website during checkout. Your order confirmation email will also indicate your estimated ship date.
We do not send a separate tracking email. To see live updates, simply click the "Track my Order" link found inside your initial email confirmation.
Why does shipping seem high?
Seeing high cost of shipping can be discouraging. We do get a discount from the carrier, but many items we sell are heavy and big. Unfortunately, we can't do anything to change the cost
of shipping.

What's the difference between 12" and 15" DR11?
Sarcastic answer: 3 inches! Some like to use 15" because their shells have a longer leader fuse (Excals), but it's not a solid reason to buy the 15 inch. It's used for mult-break shells
too (like 4 or more, but the 12" still should be fine).
There are rumors that the 15" tube will make the shell go higher, but this has never been proven. If it does go higher, I'm thinking it's only like 10 feet. Nothing to
write home about. Personally, I only use the 12" mortar tube. Oh yeah, I like shells!
