Plasmaniax, I assume you are joking. For your sake, I hope so.

I agree with justvisting. You could just the sulfur and charcoal and the potassium in another then hand mix them together. If the three ingredients are fine enough all ready then just hand mixing will work for a lower powered black powder that works for a lot of things. When mixing in a power mixer the combine ingredients can float into the motor area and a spark can set it off, that's the danger with doing it that way.

No one made BP in old school way... Wooden mallet in a big stone mortar, 5 to 10 % moisture 1.50 minutes of hammering for gram. For century BP was made like that. The time required for a usable BP (12 to 15 shell weight) is far less than ball mill. Obviously with ball mill BP is far better and safe to make.
