Well I went and done it; placed an order for one of Dom's dictator mortars and now the wait commences  ;D When not making smoke it will be used on my Union Navy living history display.

Congrats, on your future toy. You will be more than happy with Dom's work!

 Love mine. I doubt anyone who's got one is unhappy with it...

Wow! I like all these! I really like Victor3's Golf Ball Dictator! No doubt Dom has really got his hands full about now, but, I did ask about one of these beauties! What a great way to make smoke and noise! In case I don't get another chance, Happy Holidays to everyone! Boomlover

YUP.  I'd wait till it warms up to -10F!

(Yes, I have fired my beer-can caliber mortar when it was -10F out.)  Report was muffled some from the snow cover and you couldn't hear any of them hit.  Strange, but some winters in Iowa are loooonnng.
