[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 3788972, member: 796"] Gunpowder contains nitrate(s), just like yard fertilizer. Potassium Nitrate, which you can buy in bags to put on your grass, is often used as an explosive in mining operations. One of the largest accidental explosions in a TX port was due to mishandling potassium nitrate. Spoiled gunpowder changes color and smells acrid. If it is spoiled, then spread it for fertilizer as described above. I don't recommend playing with spoiled gunpowder to see how it burns; one of the decomposition products can be nitroglycerin.
