Dude I feel you on the mortar tip-over lol. Had one go sideways into my neighbor’s fence last year. He was cool about it but man was that embarrassing. This year I used a rack instead of individual tubes and it made a huge difference. Everything stayed put. Best thing I shot was probably this big 6-inch shell I got from a buddy — gold willow with crackle. Took like 5 seconds to bloom. Gorgeous. Spent way too much money this year but honestly worth it.
