Can I still do it without the corn syrup? What should I expect? and at what temperature should I cook this fuel?

Lol i made a smoke grenade yesterday with postassium nitrate and sugar. The thing was a legit flare like the one in this video. it lasted for like 2 minutes tho, made a shit load of smoke and melted alluminum foil!!! the thing was 1 inch in diamter and 1/2 a inch high, so it was madd small too. it was like a torch

Do you just put all the ingredients in a pan and turn it on?

negative :( too bad video

Burn rate increases under pressure. It will burn much faster in a rocket, not slower. I've made the recrystalived sutuff too, it works great.

How did you make that ???

So did you just randomly decide to do that? or was there some reason....? not that there's anything wrong with doing things with no purpose haha...

Shouldn't it burn more slowly?

The way it was set up, that was a perfect burn time. Now, when concentrated, shaped and constrained in the rocket, it would burn slower and it would propel the rocket much harder.
