The often quoted method is equal amounts (of molocules) of sugar and pottasium nitrate (KNo3).
You don't have to melt them. It will still work powedered, but not as well.
The method I've used was to carmelize the sugar in a microwave, then quickly mix in the KNo3 before it turned solid.
This worked perfect, but the problem is it shoots OUT A HUGE FLAME making it very bad for paintball, unless your carefull WHEN, WHERE and HOW you throw it.
KNO3 is sold in pharmacies as "Salt Peter" and lawn/garden stores as "Nitrate of Potash". Its also the main ingredient in stump-remover, which can be used.
Its getting hard to find, and you can substitue Sodium nitrate, which is very common. Often called "Nitrate of Soda" (NaNO3). Its usually $5 for 5lbs.
You could convert NaNO3 to KNO3, but there is no need if your just making a smoke bomb.
But, again, not really good for paintball. You can get military-grade smoke bombs through a variety of army/navy stores, or pyrotechnics-grade over the internet. Plus, if you use the "anarchist cookbook" method, you WILL burn down your kitched.
