Spectracide stump remover is not always available. Besides, it's fun to outwit the DEA.

Additionally, if you do use the stump remover, make sure to purify it by recrystallization if you're using it for anything more technical that simple gunpowder or something like that. I did, and found that there was a decent amount of dirty brown crud that was easily removed after doing so.

Me too, but now I buy it on eBay: $8.00/three lbs. Purity was unknown but I recrystalized it, and no brown crud or anything else was in it, AFAIK.

I think the ATF is more likely to be concerned with that one, but neither are too worried about it. You can always buy gun powder at Walmart and extract the KNO3 from it...

But it is not too hard to find, compared to other chemicals.
