Now I'll have to build myself a separated cluster to play with. Classic green cannon fuse burn rate is about 20s/ft to 30s/ft according to brand, IIRC. I believe the pink thermalite I used to have was about 20s/ft.

With that cannon fuse for the final ignition phase, timing might not be perfect. A good stiff decent length rod, rail, or tower would be a good idea. Not that it's ever a bad idea.
