Good luck with finding black powder for that now that the only producer - Hodgdon - has stopped the production of their Goex BP and getting rid of BP production arm altogether. Fucking redcoats finally got their wish 247 years later....
Black powder is easily made from charcoal, sulphur, and saltpeter (potassium nitrate). I used to make black powder as a kid this way as fuel for homemade rockets.

I also did this in high school, because I really enjoyed chemistry. I had potassium iodide and lead nitrate in a chemistry kit, and figured out they would combine to make potassium nitrate which could be isolated by evaporating off the solvent. Not sure what I did with the bright yellow and toxic lead iodide which was a byproduct. Probably threw it out.
And it worked. Made a little explosion when combined with charcoal and sulphur in the right combination and lit.
