OK, thanks for this. They're bottle rockets.

Many schemes have been concocted to make flights of rockets, some
simple, some fancy. What percentage will you accept for unlit rockets,
and what percentage flying horizontally in unpredictable directions
will you tolerate? And are the fuses coated (visco) or paper
(Chinese)?

The simple way is to load them, neither too tightly nor too loosely,
sticks down, into a bucket that comes up to their fuses, the bottom of
which bucket has a loose load of mealed powder or equivalent sufficient
to engulf the fuses in flame when ignited. Then you need only one fuse
to ignite the loose powder.
