Exactly, and before you even get to bursts, the rocket is a firework in its own right. I learnt most by starting with rockets and fountains.
I wrote something somewhere on rockets, will try and root it out.

Absolutely, as I said in another thread, BP is your bread and butter, if you get it right you can do without flash. Moreover, it teaches so much more than you think you are learning.
Also, rocket powders and rockets are an excellent intro, and in no way boring!

Wow, not sure how we got back to the barrack room barrister court!
Good news Fith. Look for Skylighter, look across the range of articles. There is some excellent info on metals and copper in particular of I remember right.
Nitrates and Aluminium are risky in their own right in the presence of moisture. Aluminium on its own can catch fire with water, so imagine the risk with added nitrate. It might seem counter-intuitive that water presents a fire risk, but these are the things I'm trying to point to, so this is why I'm suggesting you look for yourself, it builds a much bigger picture.
Satisfy yourself that you have a basic chemistry awareness that makes sense to be researched in advance of experiment!

There's a little more chemistry than that, look deeper.
You may not even need friction.
