Years and years ago a friend and I did something similar. We decided to make some gunpowder. We crushed several charcoal briquets, added saltpeter and sulpher from the local hobby shop and mixed it all together in a glass beaker about the size of a two pound coffee can. We spooned out a bit on a piece of aluminum foil next to the beaker and lit it off. It burned so well it shot a spark into that beaker and we had a small volcano on our hands. 45 years later the charred roof beams still remind me of the day we damn near burned down his house. It's a wonder that I lived through my childhood.

CYa,

Pat
