Salt Petre (potassium nitrate) (Bulk, 8 oz) Product Description. Throughout recorded history Potassium Nitrate, more commonly known as Salt Petre, has been used for preserving food especially meat products like sausage and salamis. This ingredient must be measured with a gram scale and used with extreme caution.
Why don't you sell saltpeter? Saltpeter, the chemical potassium(or sodium) nitrate, is a very combustible ingredient that some incense makers add to their incense to make sure it burns. If you use self-lighting charcoal, it's the stuff that makes the sparkles when you light it.f you use incense for magical purposes, it can also add Martian influences that you might not want in every blend! We prefer to use the art of blending gentler combustible materials, like Sandalwood, Cedar, or Clove, into our cones and sticks to make sure they burn, rather than using saltpeter as a crutch.
