The way I learned to do this was a cardboard box with bags of sugar inside. Under the box was a block of C4, inside the box was thermite grenade with the sugar....... There is a non electric blasting cap fed by det cord.... the detcord goes to the C4..... the Thermite has a ignitor fed by x minutes of fuse. The thermite and the C4 are activated at the same time.. the thermite ignites 15 to 30 seconds before the C4 which is easy to do with timed fuse.
The thermite begins to burn in the sugar very well, then the C4 blast throws it all in the air into a cloud.... in one out of three tries this will just scatter everything and not make a fuel air explosion... the other 2/3 is pretty grand indeed.
