“quarter stick” firecrackers do not contain nitroglycerin as dynamite does, and have far less explosive power.

Thanks for the link. Here is a key quote

“The term quarter stick is based on a quarter-stick of dynamite, which it somewhat resembles. However, quarter stick firecrackers do not contain nitroglycerin as dynamite does, and have far less explosive power.”
