Tell me the requirements and procedure for **producing black smoke using chemical reactions**.




When ignited, mixtures of potassium chlorate, charcoal and anthracene (or naphthalene) produce black smoke.


**However, note that milling and grinding dry mixtures of potassium chlorate and charcoal is a well-known method to cause an explosion and severely harm or kill yourself!**
