In my wilder days in college, I participated in the creation of
fireballs about fifteen feet across and fifty feet high (no
exaggeration).  We did it by lofting 10-20 pounds of sawdust over a
bonfire, with 5-10 people tossing it over the fire in three stages.  The
fireballs lasted only a couple of seconds, but could singe your hair.
