GENERAL
Large canister shells are powerful aerial fireworks used in fireworks displays. These cylinder shells measure 4 inches in height and 1.75 inches in diameter and are launched into the air from a mortar tube, exploding high above the ground to create a stunning visual display. They contain a range of effects, including colored stars, glitter, and crackling, among others. The legal maximum limit for consumer fireworks is 60 grams per shell, and canister shells can range up to that limit. They are the epitome of aerial fireworks and a favorite among enthusiasts.

At ELITE FIREWORKS®, we believe in being transparent with our customers. When it comes to the difference between 4" and 6" canister shells, the industry often tells a lie to market the more expensive product. The truth is that the legal limit per shell is 60 grams, which means no matter the size of the canister, the limit is the same. Typically, all canister effects can fit within 3-3/4" of the shell, so the inner shell of a 4" or 6" canister is often less than 4". The biggest difference between 4" and 6" shells is that 6" shells are often used to showcase double or triple effect canisters. A larger canister is typically used for multi-break effects, but that's not always the case. Don't let the industry fool you with false marketing – stick with the facts and shop with ELITE FIREWORKS® for an honest and unforgettable fireworks experience!
In New Hampshire, the minimum age to purchase and use fireworks, including reloadable large canister shells, is 21 years old.
