Get an old refrigerator.
Mix up one gallon of tannerite (Pack it tight into the container)
fill a one gallon can or jug with gasoline
your container of mixed gun powder
Set all of these containers inside of the old refrigerator
shut the door
Make sure that you paint a spot on the refrigerator that will line up with the tannerite when you shoot it from the bench.
Make sure you and your party are atleast 200 yards away and under cover if you can or wear helmets and try to dodge the sheetmetal if it comes flying your way
.
Add more gasoline if you want a larger flame ball. Just don't try this during dry weather due to causing a fire that could make you famous in the wrong way.
Film it for us to enjoy.

I assume you're joking around, but just incase others can't detect sarcasm via the internet, I'll add a little story with a moral at the end of it.
Had a buddy that actually tried something similar... with an old dryer, lots more tannerite, and less of the other two ingredients.
Turned out to be a really BAD idea... and 300 yards was not far enough away. They were lucky (as in no serious injuries and only minor damage to equipment). The video that was planned for a You Tube dissappeared, never to resurface. They were just lucky that no one was killed.
Moral... don't be THAT GUY.</div></div>
I wasn't joking at all. I WAS adding a little humor and a touch sarcasm to it though (I.E. having helmets on and running around trying to dodge the shrapnel)
We have done things similar and this goes off without a hitch as long as you take the proper precautions.
If your buddy used WAY more tannerite than I specified, then that explains the problem that he created.
With a greater amount of explosive, you need to increase the distance from the explosive.
Do you know how much tannerite he used?
Having a safe area in a remote area that has no chance of catching on fire is essential.
Explosions / pyrotechnics are safe as long as they are conducted in a safe area and you take the proper precautions and are at a safe distance from them.
A little bang and some sheetmetal flying is cool to see as long as you are no-where near the fall out.
