Dragons breath vs. clean barrel

[Daycrawler]

Yep, magnesium. Some if the ads say 140 yds at 5000 degrees, others say 100 feet at 4000 degrees. I tend to believe the latter.

Flares are cheaper, easier to find, and more likely to get something burning than dragons breath if that's what you want to do.

What if you mix some road flare contents, with some other known stuff that works? What say yee Poofa pyros?

What's inside a flare?

Flares produce their light through the combustion of a pyrotechnic composition. The ingredients are varied, but often based on strontium nitrate, potassium nitrate, or potassium perchlorate and mixed with a fuel such as charcoal, sulfur, sawdust, aluminium, magnesium, or a suitable polymeric resin.
