Bright orange portfire.
A bit more smelly and smoky than the white version, inferior, but significantly cheaper and more accessible chemistry.
It takes about 20-25 g of composition to make a 9.5 mm ID portfire with approximately 200 mm of burning length. A sheet of A4 paper halved length-ways makes two suitable tubes which have sufficiently length to implement a good handle by stuffing the remaining uncharged space with paper wadding or clay.
