Default Rocket Fuel

Kerosene fuel for rockets is deliberately burned oxygen poor so the
unburnt fuel will add mass to the rocket's exhaust to give it more
thrust. To avoid the waste of incomplete combustion and get higher
fuel efficiency with greater thrust, dust could be inserted into or
near the combustion chamber instead of unburnt fuel.
