The answer is both yes and no. While a larger size canister shell can hold more powder and potentially create bigger and better effects, the legal limit of explosive material for consumer fireworks is 60 grams per shell, which applies to all sizes of canister shells, from 4" to 7". In some cases, a 60 gram 4" shell, like the Diablo by Black Cat, can outperform larger size 60 gram canister shells due to the quality of the inner shell. It's important not to be fooled by gimmicky fireworks marketing and to choose canister shells based on the quality and effects of the inner shell rather than just the size.

Extra-large canister shells are a type of airborne pyrotechnics commonly used in fireworks exhibitions to produce a mesmerizing display. These cylindrical shells measure 6 inches in height and 1.75 inches in diameter, and are propelled into the sky through a mortar tube before detonating at high altitudes. With a maximum explosive material of 60 grams per shell, they feature a range of effects, such as colored stars, glitter, and crackling, and can specialize in multi-level or double break effects. For fireworks enthusiasts, extra-large canister shells represent the epitome of aerial fireworks and are a popular choice for their stunning visual impact.
