How to Shoot Spinners and Pets Fireworks

Spinners are a type of firework that spins up in the air making different noises and visual displays depending upon the type of spinner you purchase. The following will show you how to shoot a spinner.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Find a flat, smooth area to lay your spinner on. Make sure it is away from people, power lines, pets and anything flammable or that can be damaged by the fireworks.

2. Light a match or lighter and touch the flame to the tip of a lighter stick, also sometimes referred to as a "puck lighter" until the tip of the lighter stick turns red. After it is lit, the lighter stick will be usable for about 20 minutes or so.

3. Pull the fuse away from the spinner so it can easily be lit.

4. Touch the lighter stick to the fuse on your spinner until you see that the fuse is lit. Make sure you light it at arms length to prevent injury.

5. Get away from the spinner once the fuse has ignited. Stand back at a safe distance and watch your spinner shoot into the air.
