Hey Keith, nobody gets an award for Hydrogen: Fireworks (this year)
this year.
The interesting thing you bring up, is that Propane would be a solid in
LOX. Would make for some cool fireworks, glad you let it self safe by
letting it warm up.
With Hydrogen: Fireworks, it would be the Oxygen that is the solid. SOX
instead of LOX. Powdered SOX in Liquid Hydrogen, interesting, is it safe?
That would be fun to see what LH2/SOX in a 2 liter bottle would do. Should
be reasonably easy to separate the two, if they don't spontaneously explode.
Is LH2/SOX safe to use in a rocket engine?

I don't have any video, and this is entirely second hand. There is a
group that used to (and might still) fill two-liter soda bottles with
propane and LOX. I once made a little of this myself, but since I was
in the middle of a city, I let it evaporate.
Anyway, they found that a high-velocity rifle shot would set them off
about half the time, tracer ammo did it every time.
A two-liter bottle of this mix is really energetic. I would advise
earplugs even at 100 meters.
