I am always amused when someone is reluctant to store Black powder in its cans in their garage, when they usually don't think twice about storing cleaning solvents, paint, propane, and gasoline for the lawmower in the garage. The fumes from the gasoline are the most dangerous, the most explosive, and the most easy to ignite! The old oil based paints are pretty good accelerants, and the solvents- denatured alcohol, naptha, mineral spirits, acetone, etc. are all good burners. All should be stored in cool, dry places, just like your black powder.
