Most likely cooking up batch of "rocket candy" made by melting sugar with potassium nitrate (saltpeter) together

Rule of thumb.
YouTube tutorials aren't the way to go when making rocket fuel.

Also a quick question. While it's nice this wasn't another meth lab incident, is rocket fuel a better money making enterprise? Cause when you think of Start-Up's making rocket fuel I suspect it's a niche market.
