This one's quicker and more spectacular.

Mrs said not allowed to have a sawdust cannon there’s a fire van on :(
I can't do either of those options so here is my solution.

Still have a way to go before the problem becomes slightly concerning 😂
That reminds me of anvil throwing

He'd put something combustible such as fine sawdust, flour, icing sugar in the funnel, light the candle and put the lid firmly on the tin. Then stamp on the bulb, dust would ignite and blow the lid off the tin and 20ft into the air. It was a great experiment but Mr Walton was eventually banned from doing it because the loud explosion would scare the c..p out of the unsuspecting kids in adjoining classrooms. I should mention that we did this outside.

My three step process for disposal of saw dust and shavings, proven over 40 years is:
- Put saw dust in paper bag,
- Put paper bag in wood stove,
- Light,
- if stove is already burning omit Step 3.
It works.
