The Do-it-Yourself Gunpowder Cookbook, by~

Paladin Press, ISBN 0-87364-675-4
The Do-it-Yourself Gunpowder Cookbook, by Don McLean

This a smallish, fairly inexpensive book at ca $20, small format and 73 pp.

Contains 8 chapters, an intro, "why" making Black Powder for oneself, and a
short history of powder.

Part one is about making powder at home.
Chapter 2 contains a fairly accurate description on how to make Black Powder
, plus recipes and warnings!
Chapter 3 contains a description of how to make "white" powder, sugar based
substitutes, plus recipes and warnings.

Part two is about securing the ingredients in a survival situation.
Chapter 4 is sources and how to extract saltpeter
Chapter 5 is sources and how to handle charcoal
Chapter 6 is sources and how to get sulphur.
Chapter 7 is how to get sugar from Mother Nature
Chapter 8 is how to get minerals from and out in the nature, i.e. mining.

What is touched upon, but never treated as such, is so-called "brown
powder", an intermediate between BP and modern smokeless powders, that was
used for a very brief period during the late 1800's. This was at the time
held to be more effective, i.e. it was said give higher muzzle-velocity and
pressure, and less smoke. Main difference from BP was a different recipe and
substitution of charcoal with coal from charred straw.

This little book is a good source of info for the curious, and an "how-to"
intro for the budding powder maker. It needs to be said however that those
that want to follow these directions, needs to study their subject more, and
have a thorough understanding of what they do, why, and when.

It should never be forgotten that all Black Powder mills ever started in the
twin kingdoms of Denmark-Norway up until the early 1900's ALL blew up,
sooner or later. Make no mistake about it, handling Black Powder is
potentially very, very dangerous, so be careful!

Og nu venter vi så bare på, at Net-betjentene skal komme frem fra deres

Brugen af eder og bande-ord var strengt forbudt i datidens krudtmøller,
man mente de kunne udløse en eksplosion! Mere effektivt var nok påbuddet
om at man skulle anvende filt-tøfler i stedet for sømbeslåede træsko.
