Yep - used to make my own black powder and had different grades/burning speeds depending on whether it was to be used as fuse /cannon/something to just go boom and splatter cardboard casing all over the place - NEVER stayed next to any of my “experiments” when the “BOOM” was gonna happen - always took some sort of cover even if it was only a garbage can brought out for the purpose - usually hid behind trees in the wood where most of the “experiments” were held...
