2 oz. Black Powder Rocket Refill Kit (no tools)
This is a refill kit for our 2-oz. Black Powder Rocket Kit. It contains everything in that kit, except the 3/8ths rocket tooling.
Each kit contains enough supplies needed to make 40 black powder rockets.
- Potassium Nitrate, 1 pound (#CH5304)
- Airfloat Charcoal, 1 pound (#CH8068)
- 80 mesh Charcoal, 1 pound (#CH8066)
- Sulfur, 1 pound (#CH8315)
- 2 oz. Parallel Tubes, 40 (#TU1008)

- Visco Fuse, 20 feet
You save 20% off the retail prices of the individual components when you buy this kit.
You can use hand-made black powder with this kit (but be sure and follow our project instructions closely). You definitely do not need a ball mill.
If you're going to hand-mix your black powder rocket fuel, you'll need a screens--40-mesh is best. If you don't already have one, you can add it to your order. For hand-mixed BP, you'll also need a blade-type coffee mill (cheap at WalMart).
Now, if you want to make black powder easier, faster, and with less work, a ball mill is the way to go (use lead balls to mill your BP). You can definitely crank out more BP with far less work and hassle this way.
You can fly your black powder rockets day or night, with or without a heading. Flying Fish fuse and Falling Leaves fuse make great, light-weight headings.
