In what department do you find them, at Lowes?
The American Indian found out what happens if
you don't control immigration!!!
you can get it at both Target and Walmart in the camping section. I think at both stores it is on the end cap. I am pretty sure the product is called Funky Colored Flames.
We use the crystals from Lowes and Home depot. They are in the fireplace sections....we use ours in our fireplace at home all the time, hard to keep the dust on the wood though. I usually use a whole can per fire.
Just a note regarding the copper pipe vs the pre-made packets...
I was told that the copper pipe method produces a smoke that is potentially noxious. Granted, you are not in an enclosed space - but it could be concern. Whereas the premade products do not have that side effect.
Also, NEVER cook over a colored flame fire. Even after the colors have gone away, I would not suggest roasting marshmellows, smores, etc...
The pipe method lasts longer - but has a nasty side effect.
The premade packets are shorter time burn - but they are safer.
Don't know if this is an "old wives tale" - or not. I just never figured that I would take the chance.
Used to see all kinds of colored things back in the sixties. Fires, sky, walls. Forget what we used to use or where we got it. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Walmart.
