How to dummy-load a cannon?
I am working on a short story in which characters simulate cannon fire. The goal is smoke and noise without firing ammunition. Are the cannons loaded with powder and packed with something, or does the powder just explode with ignition? My characters are working on recreating a battle in the 1700s.

find a description on how to load a muzzle loading rifle. Its the same procedure except for the aiming. And they use a bag of powder to load down the barrel, they put a wire down the touch hold to open the bag then pour in powder. then touch it off with a slow burning match.
