Step 3Begin the smoke mix!
This is important, I intend to make another instructable off of this part, but anyways, my method for making "sugar rocket fuel" is a bit different then anyone I've seen.
everyone seems obsessed with grinding KNO3 then melting sugar. Not only does this usually result in heavy carmelization of the sugar, impossible to mold, and a genuine fire hazard, grinding up beads to powder is slow, laborous, and just plain messy.
Besides, on an atomic scale that powder is HUGE! Let's easily turn the molecules back into individual KNO3 molecules and produce a STRONGER, better burning, more reliable, and significantly less dangerous to cook mix!
Here's what we need for our pumpkins-
100g KNO3
and
~70g Sugar
So, step one of this is measure the KNO3 and pour granules into pot. JUST cover them with water and turn your stove on to med high.
