Quarters work better.... And they are still nonsparking. I believe nickels are also.

Uhhh lol I was talking about the rock tumbler! Hell no, I would never use that many quarters! I would just buy some lead weights or get some media from skylighter, pyrocreations, or united nuclear.

This is what happens when you get it right..

Please ignore my funny little run and my mum. I did this over 3 years ago, I've grown up and grown a beard since then. :D

Oh, I forgot to mention that if you use large mesh KNO3, the reaction will be slower, and yet produce much more smoke, watch the video.

I have only made smoke comp with it so far, and I don't really know how long to properly grind bp with it. I have a homemade mill, I'm really impatient, so I only mixed for about an hour, because my undersized motor started smoking! :lol: Until I get a better one, I'm not doing much...

EDIT: BTW, there is a giant old thread on this here...

http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/smokebombs-t1604.html

Just thought I would let you know! A lot of questions about the rules are answered there too. :wink:

Im here to tell you your formula will look nothing like the picture you posted.I have many color smoke dies and it takes a different oxidizer and fuel to make colored smoke.Potasium chlorate/lactose powder and sodium bicarb + organic dye.although potasium nitrate and sugar does make great white smoke

God Damn! how much stuff were you burning there maxus? Too bad it was so windy, that would have been insanely thick if it wasn't blowing so hard.

btw, where would I get large mesh KNO<sub>3</sub>? any suggestions of garden supplies etc. that would have that?

I made a thread a while back on how to amek them, I think they talked about colored mixtures in there.

Stump Remover is 99% potassium nitrate.
