Salt peter typically refers to the chemical compound potassium nitrate, though it may also refer to sodium nitrate. Salt peter was once collected from decomposing material, but today, it is generally manufactured by treating sodium nitrate, mostly mined in Chile, with potassium chloride and collecting the precipitate.
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.
