A smoke gun also works well, and it is the most versatile since it doesn’t infuse other flavors into your dish. You can use it to spice up your meat, puddings, vegetables, and ice creams. It’s easy to use as all you need is to add wood chips into the gun, and when the wood burns, it produces smoke out of the pipe. Jeff Grubb and Ed Greenwood (1990). Forgotten Realms Adventures. ( TSR, Inc), pp. 12–13. ISBN 0-8803-8828-5. A major step forward was the invention of guncotton, a nitrocellulose-based material, by German chemist Christian Friedrich Schönbein in 1846. He promoted its use as a blasting explosive [7] :28 and sold manufacturing rights to the Austrian Empire. Guncotton was more powerful than gunpowder, but at the same time was once again somewhat more unstable. John Taylor obtained an English patent for guncotton; and John Hall & Sons began manufacture in Faversham. If you want to use the smoked tea as a meat rub, crush it into a fine powder and mix it with your other spices.

Smokeless powder may be corned into small spherical balls or extruded into cylinders or strips with many cross-sectional shapes (strips with various rectangular proportions, single or multi-hole cylinders, slotted cylinders) using solvents such as ether. These extrusions can be cut into short ("flakes") or long pieces ("cords" many inches long). Cannon powder has the largest pieces.

Alternatively diethylene glycol dinitrate (detonation velocity 6,610m/s (21,690ft/s), RE factor 1.17) can be used as a nitroglycerin replacement when reduced flame temperatures without sacrificing chamber pressure are of importance. [6] :298 Reduction of flame temperature significantly reduces barrel erosion and hence wear. [7] :30

Around 1372 DR, the city of Telflamm was considered a gateway for smokepowder and other eastern goods into the rest of Faerûn. [34] Around this time firearms were available throughout Faerûn [11] and many rulers viewed the Church of Gond with ire for having introduced them to the continent, seeing the weapons as a threat to their authority. [35] It wasn't long before rulers began putting stricter regulations in place for the substance. [36] Stabilizers prevent or slow down self-decomposition. These include diphenylamine, petroleum jelly, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, sodium bicarbonate, and beta-Naphthol methyl ether [15] Obsolete stabilizers include amyl alcohol and aniline.

ISSN 0043-0374.In the late 14 th century DR, the city-state of Innarlith on the Lake of Steam made use of smokepowder to excavate the trench for a canal that was dug between the Lake of Steam and the Nagaflow.

These include tin metal and compounds (e.g., tin dioxide), [7] and bismuth metal and compounds (e.g., bismuth trioxide, bismuth subcarbonate, bismuth nitrate, bismuth antimonide); the bismuth compounds are favored as copper dissolves in molten bismuth, forming brittle and easily removable alloy. Lead foil and lead compounds have been phased out due to toxicity. [15]

[6] Manufacturing [ edit ] Ammunition handloading powders The Red Wizards of Thay were known to have developed large siege guns, known as bombards, that operated on smokepowder. However, these were largely inaccurate and each shot consumed over a hundred charges. [24]Propellant Properties" (PDF). Nevada Aerospace Science Associates.
