We used to take 5 tin coffee cans and cut the bottom out of 4, stack them in a tube and tape. Drill a 1/4 hole about a inch or two from the bottom for a ignition point. Pour a little water in the bottom and a couple carbide rocks then place coffee can lid on top. Let it sizzle a bit and ignite. Rattled windows if done right.
