I think you are referring to potassium nitrate (or the less reactive sodium nitrate). My friend’s father was a pharmacist. We got it for 27 cents a pound back in the ‘60s IIRC.

Potassium chlorate plus aluminum powder. Lots of fun!

I think you are referring to potassium nitrate (or the less reactive sodium nitrate). Correct. Otherwise known as saltpeter. We used to buy it at the Pak-a-Sak (pre 7-11) mix it with sulfur, charcoal and sugar.
