Last week, my local (SoCal) Home Depot had Grant's stump remover, which appeared to be homogenous small spheres and KNO3 was mentioned on the ingredients list :-)
Stump remover doesn't go boom, it goes fizzle fizzle smoke smoke smoke, for a long time until your stump has burned away down into the roots. You might be able to extract some KNO3 from the other gunk, but there're probably better ways to get your pyrotechnical supplies.
