Is there away tio reduce the smoke produced in a [combustion] reaction?
Theoretically, there is no smoke produced at all (only water and carbon dioxide), but because of the impurities, imcomplete combustion, moisture, obviously, smoke is a common product of burning something.
How can I minimilize smoke from being produced?
Some stuff I use makes a lot more smoke for instance than others,
for example, Potassium Nitrate makes a lot of white (smelly) smoke, where are buring a lot of oily rags would produce black smoke, and by contrast, combusting hydrogen and oxygen to produce water makes little if any smoke.
