Potassium nitrate.


and where could I buy it?


Hardware store, plant nursery, or at the home and garden dept at many
variety stores--labeled as "Stump Remover"--read the label, diesel or other
hydrocarbon fuel will help if you intend to later burn the stump.

So, the basic idea is, drill holes, pour KNO3 powder, add diesel fuel?

Wouldn't that be an immediate fire hazard?

Bulk quantities are available at wholesale chemical houses and pyrotechnic
materials suppliers........

cool.

Beware, stump removal grade is *not* generally not pure enough for
pyrotechnic use, so suggest dont get any bright ideas about making
explosives or other 4th of July demonstrations with it.

I already had those bright ideas...

How about ammonium nitrate, can it be bought? I used it in Russia in
my garden all the time.
