   Holy Smoke is the good stuff. Clean burning (relative to others), reasonable power too. Made in NZ, so easier to get. Try contacting Martin at pyroworks@pyroworks.co.nz

   If you really wanted to jump headfirst down the rabbit hole, I think there was someone on here making their own BP. I'm sure they'll chime in sooner or later. PS Nice job on your kitset.

    Have you tried wilsonshunting in Whanganui. They often have a wide range of stuff. I wouldn't rely on their website as it is not kept up to date but give them a call.
