So is it legal to make sugar rockets in the usa. I've read nfpa 1122 but I'm no lawyer and can't really discern as to if my PVC sugar motor is illegal or not? Anyone know?

Processing is nowhere near that point....Not to mention you don't have to melt something to close to it's flash point to process it......
This particular item is on the Explosives List, "Potassium nitrate explosive mixtures". Someone would have to make the determination if sugar motors fall into that category. So who volunteers for the test case?
That item is a fine example of government-agency "thinking". If a mixture is an explosive mixture...then it falls under BATFE's jurisdiction. Doesn't matter one whit whether it contains potassium nitrate or "Liquid A*s".
If I was cynical, I would suspect that the many listings of "XYZ explosive mixtures" in the orange book are intended to imply that any mixture containing XYZ is an explosive mixture. (For KNO3, does that include Sensodyne toothpaste? Just curious.)
Increasingly disgusted with our gummint,
