My approach is definitely not as safe as Sir Boggs

I have a mortar similar to Scotty’s. I tip the barrel up dump (undisclosed amount) of BP cannon grade powder Then pound 2 tennis balls for wads. Top the whole thing with either a juice bottle filled with vegetable oil (makes a great flame) or I cut down an 8 ft tree limbs and all and pound it into the barrel ( yup most of the tree sticks out) with a maul. Lite the fuse and run behind my truck. The limbs on the tree come off from the blow by gasses and the trunk of the tree goes about 300 yards like a thrown football.

For all you idiots out there never use my approach. It’s definitely not safe as compared to Sir Boggs. I didn’t even know there was a proper way until I met Scotty.

Thanks for the lesson Scotty

I haven’t blown any fingers off YET but the darn thing is scary and powerful
