Mortars are the way forward. We have a client that pays us in fireworks 
, and the mortars he gives us are massive...I mean they'll set off all teh car alrams in a 1 mile radius type thing .
He has a fireworks company in Sheffield

There's a time and a place for fireworks. And that's deep in a welsh forest on a freezing november night, whilst cooking food on an open fire and drinking beers waiting for WRGB to start.

That was a typographical spelling mistake, not an error of grammar.
So your stones/glass houses comment is wholly innapropriate.

You can legally buy some serious rockets
but please leave the shells and mortars to those who are trained and insured to use them!<Ex Pains Fireworks Display Operative>

Either last year or the year before (I cant remember which) they changed the law so the general public couldnt buy the really big fireworks. Luckerly my friend has a chain of stores that sells them and had to give loads of the big ones to me as well as all the big rockets that had broken sticks.
One of the fireworks retailed for over £100 it looked like a case of 24 cans of stella but made up of about 60ish tubes. **** me it scared the life out of me and went off for about 10 minutes firing ***** of coloured fire high in to the air making huge bangs, much better than any rocket!

What you refer to are called 'Cakes' in the trade and are excellent for a long 'fill in' during a display (usually several of the same type spread across the display area and fired together).
The ones you can legally buy will give you the safest, most spectacular displays and some are actually mini shells
You get's what you pays for though, so whatever your budget, get the most expensive ones you can, then you will not be dissapointed
And, above all, be safe! Read the instructions carefully, keep a safe distance and don't prat about with fireworks, especially if you've been drinking! (lesson over)
