I imagine that AN=Ammonium Nitrate. As for "regular smokemix", that could either apply to chlorate white smoke, as used in commercial smoke devices, those using zinc oxide/HCE such as the military, or the classic KNO3/sugar smokemix. Since he says that one can add paraffin, I would assume that this is added to the KNO3/sugar mix a la the 'legendary smokebomb.'

Senz should really clarify on this point.

Yes, AN means Ammonium Nitrate here.

 

I'll let the resident Chemists pipe in, but I wouldn't use this with a Chlorate mix.

Yes, mixing with chlorate would be a death wish.

 

I'd bet money that "normal" smoke mix is just KNO3/sugar. It'd be somewhat incompatible with Zinc/HCE too due to nitrate/zinc reactions. It behaves similarly to aluminum. You may see this very prominantly in Negative-X type mixes that ignite on contact with water.
