How to make a smoke bomb

Alright, so smoke bombs aren't truely fire related, however, it does require heat to make, and it does make flames near the end usually.

Materials:


sugar (sucrose or table sugar)
potassium nitrate, KNO3, also known as saltpeter (buy it online or you can find this at some garden supply stores in the fertilizer section, some pharmacies carry it too)
skillet or pan
aluminum foil

How to make it:

1. Pour about 3 parts potassium nitrate to 2 parts sugar into the skillet (5:3 ratio is also good). Measurements don't need to be exact, but you want more KNO3 than sugar. For example, you can use 1-1/2 cups KNO3 and 1 cup sugar. If you use equal amounts of KNO3 and sugar, your smoke bomb will be harder to light and will burn more slowly. As you approach the 5:3 KNO3:sugar ratio, you get a smoke bomb that burns more quickly.

2. Apply low heat to the pan. Stir the mixture with a spoon using long strokes. If you see the grains of sugar starting to melt along the edges where you are stirring, remove the pan from the heat and reduce the temperature before continuing.

3. Basically you are carmelizing sugar. The mixture will melt and become a caramel or chocolate color. Continue heating/stirring until the ingredients are liquefied. Remove from heat.

4. Pour the liquid onto a piece of foil. You can pour a smaller amount onto a separate piece, to test the batch. You can pour the smoke bomb into any shape, onto an object, or into a mold. The shape and size will affect the burning pattern.

4. If you aren't going to clean your skillet immediately, pour hot water into the pan to dissolve the sugar (or else it will be harder to clean). Clean up any residue you may have spilled out of the pan, unless you want mini-smoke bombs on your stovetop.

5. Allow the smoke bomb to cool, then you can peel it off the foil.

6. Now you have a smoke bomb ready to confuse anyone, however, to light it, you will have to put a fuse in it while your pouring it. You can make the smoke different colors, but requires much more chemicals, and it can ruin the whole thing if made wrong.


Now you have a smoke bomb ready for a hasty escape from your parents, or for an interesting game of hide and seek. I have made some before and survived some tough times during Hide and seek awhile back, it sure was fun.

Would any string work for a fuse, or does it have to be an actual fuse?

Overall, great guide! Very nice!

I always used normal fuses, but I would guess that any string would work, if its flammable.
