After very extensiv use of sparkle pois ive found that the tubesparkle is not the way to go if you want nice good spread and spectacular pois. Insted make a big loop of 5mm fencewire and weave a good amount stealwool around it. Then turn the ring into a dubble helix and turn the healix to a ball. you should end up with somthing that looks like a steelwool ball. The burntime is adjusted by the amount of steel wool. There is almost no waist of steelwool. it gives a nice steady relise and its just as safe as the cage if not safer becose u ust end up with the fence wire in the end and you can easly dip that in a can or water for fast cooldown or just put it on any wet ground.

that sounds like a good plan, but then how do you reuse the chicken wire / fence wire? chicken wire is sometimes difficult and awkward (and sore) to manipulate, so I want something that's going to be reusable as a container, into which I just pack the steelwool....
I will try your idea, though and let you know how it goes...

I just found 2 spaghetti tins to which I'm going to attach keyrings and chain, and into which I'll be drilling holes at the bottom through which burning  Steel wool will fly. No chicken wire involved here.
Has someone tried something similar..? Am I wasting my time and my spaghetti tins? (I looked for any kind of alcohol that comes in a tin, and found none - ref to Black Bush, of course).
Feedback pweeez....

I'm interested in color variations. Has anyone experimented with adding certain elements to the Steel wool to produce different colors?

firstly, if you've overcome the obstacle of having a decent burn time (25 secs or more), then I suppose you could experiment with adding different fuels to the steel wool... although I'm hesitant to go to that extra length because the molten steel wool's gonna be orange if you like it or not, since that's how it burns without fuel... so.
??? It's trial and error, really.
