id try drying it for a few days with calcium chloride with it in an air
tight container and milling it with the KNO3 having thoroughly dried that
as well.

I remember the first time I milled a kg in a pvc mill. Was a hot day and
the milling process generated additional heat. After an hour, I opened up
the mill and dang, no powder! Where had it all gone? It had melted to the
insides of the mill and on the brass medium.

Are you milling the sugar & nitrate together? You should use spherical or
cylindrical grinding media in a cylindrical can.

I have a little mill, sort of like a ball mill, but much smaller than
most, and using pennies in a rotating square plastic food container set on
edge. It powders the sugar quite well, but the sugar then sticks to
everything, even after I dry it with heat and mill it again. Any
suggestions that won't screw up the chemistry?
