My mixture was pretty well confined. My Potassium chlorate charcoal mixtures exploded without almost any confinment. So my guess would be that a mixture of both kept it from exploding. It wasn't white so I clearly had some imurities. Also it is pretty hygroskopic and maybe my hotplate is not strong enough to drive all the water of.
I did not mix it too well but using potassium chlorate it exploded without any mixing. So that probably is not the issue cause I had a fairly homogenous mixture.
And yes sulfur plays most likely exactly the same role here as in regular blackpowder.
