along with other pyrotechnic uses. what kind of wood is it made of?Can I use charcoal briquettes for use in black powder...?
Don't use charcoal briquettes. They contain too many additives that could cause problems with your BP.
You can buy powdered charcoal at places like www.Skylighter.com or you can make your own, time consuming but you can make it out of any type of wood you can find http://www.skylighter.com/fireworks/how-鈥?/a>
Softer woods make faster burning BP, most pyro's think willow is one of the best woods for BP that'll be used in pyrotechics.Can I use charcoal briquettes for use in black powder...?
Yes I believe you can. Black powder-gunpowder- is made up of charcoal, potassium nitrate (saltpeter), and some sulfur compound. Charcoal can be made from any kind of wood. It is made by heating wood in the absence of oxygen. All of the other ';stuff'; goes away and you are left with carbon. Your best bet is just to buy charcoal.
