    To find a reliable supplier you might have to goto Wyoming. Any decent pyrotechnics shop should have it.

    Cannonfuse.com has good stuff. You are going to use black powder?

    Sportsman Warehouse has cannon fuse in Grand Junction. Not sure about the ones on the front range. It's in the blackpowder section.
    To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth.

    Before buying a large length of fuse, you might want to consider checking the diameter of the vent and see if the fuse you are interested in will slide down into the vent. When someone mentions "firecracker" fuse, they are usually referring to the lacquered fuse type like the old M-80's and larger salutes used to use. You sure don't want the little twisted paper type fuse like that on the Black Cat crackers.
    And as CrufflerSteve implied, you will want to use authentic/real BLACK POWDER only!! As you are well aware, a lot of modern smokeless powders are black in color but they sure perform a lot differently than required BP. Also, Pyrodex and that type artificial BP will not be as effective in a BP cannon/mortar due to their requirement of compression. IMHO.
    I do NOT claim to be any kind of an expert in firing of BP shooters but I have been around them enough to know at least a little about them....Good luck.

    I bought a couple rolls at a gun show many years ago in NY, do they still sell it at gun shows?
