Right now mine is in a cardboard box, in original containers.. At least until I make a better place to put it.
I store my powder in a plastic ammo can on a shelf in my garage. Cool, dry!Is there a "best practice" for storing bp? I just keep it in my gun safe.
I keep mine in the chicken house. There is no electric or heat source in the building. Just a few scared chickens!
Learn your state and local laws. In NY State, it's 5 lbs maximum, in original containers or in horns, with those in a wood box with 1/2 thick walls, painted red and marked Low Ex. That box is to be kept on the ground floor or in the basement, within 10 feet of an exterior entry.Is there a "best practice" for storing bp? I just keep it in my gun safe.
The inevitable later conversations with police and his insurance agent were probably a bit stressful too.I happen to know someone who had a significant amount of 3f in his basement, like 6 kegs. House caught fire and the local dept was dealing with it. He ran in and started carrying the kegs out. The local FD told him that nothing in the house was worth his life. They changed their tune when he pointed out he was saving theirs by getting the powder out of the basement.
Here in the UK we have very strict regulations on how to store. Very similar to NY state. Wooden boxes, each 500 gram container to have it's own compartment with a tight fitting lid. The wooden box to be locked and secured with wire or chain.
