I'd be interested to know what people are doing out there to prevent unintentional self incineration.
Google tells me things like this exist:
Spill Control, Dangerous Goods & Emergency - Dangerous Goods Storage - Flammable Storage Cabinet 60L
My powders used to be stored in a detached unit but now they are in the house, should I be taking extra precautions?

My old A-cat safe has become dedicated storage for powder and loaded ammunition by default.
I have often wondered if storing propellant/powder affects my insurance policy regarding fire risk.
Was an interesting thread at the other pub re this.

@kiwijames interesting stuff
Weird thing is you can store ammo in the house OK. I just try to buy 1 or 2 x 500g and load it all that weekend 150 ~ 200 rounds is no biggee in one go.
Best place to store it is inside loaded cartridge cases, I find
@gimp a keen observation.
I reload in the detached garage , I have a old 1950s? kelvanator fridge , all my loaded , powder , primers , etc etc go in there .... that's my "lockable" ammo storage ....
Those old Kelvinators are badass. Have you screwed a dirty great latch on it?Quote:

Such a shame.
Was she?
Probably.
Those dangerous fridges. My old neighbour when we were kids climbed into one (Still working) and couldn't get out. His mother found him later on only just alive.
He survive that. And later got run over by a tractor. Survived that too..
Tough bugger.
I store mine in a lockable garden shed that's away from the house
