Thermite is fun and relatively easy to make. It's pretty much just powdered aluminum and rust. Another cool thing about it is it creates it's own oxygen so it will burn underwater undergroud whereever one of the reasons its so dangerrous cause once it's going you can't put it out. So if you want to burn something at a little over 4500 F thermite is the way to go :p

to add for the curious, without posting anything illegal, just google anarchist's cookbook.
