The chute was a surprise! Wow! Didn’t know it’s called a girandola.

As I understand it, they are made without sulfur in order to lower the burn rate. That in turn may make them harder to light.The long, looooong burn is what really drops my jaw.
While not on that scale, if you can ever attend the PGI convention, you will see some impressive girandolas. They are usually made with long end burning motors / drivers. Small ones can use canted motors for spin and lift but larger ones use horizontal drivers for spin as well. They are very complex devices and take a lot of skill and consistency to make.Those things alone are enough to make me want to visit Thailand. And maybe make a downscale that uses Quest D5 motors, or something else really long burning with thick smoke.
A man in the pyro community who lives in Thailand had said the composition is also packed slightly damp to slow the burn rate even further.As I understand it, they are made without sulfur in order to lower the burn rate. That in turn may make them harder to light.
