Powder Storage

[K Hope]

Here last night it was below -40 in the great white north, . I had to install a second heater just to keep it at +40. I think Maine and NH got it even worse than here…. You sure don’t want your powder to freeze…..

I know this has been a topic that has been kicked around, but I have a question. I want to move my powder from house to garage. Garage is heated to 41F in winter, but can get up to 80-90 F in summer. It will be in a sealed box so no drastic temp changes quickly, it would be a gradual change. Also never heard of this, but can I throw a few nuggets of water softener salt around the containers to act as a dessicant?

Is 90F to high a temp to store powder for say 2-3 months a year.

Oh and have a Happy New Year everyone. Best wishes for 2023. Hope it is better than 2022.

I use these (with silica gel in a pill bottle w/holes drilled in bottle). I have to regenerate the silica gel about every 4 months). Shouldn't be too big of an explosion if they catch fire

Personally, my powder stays inside with me. 40 years and 3 wives and
never a doubt about separating us. With the recent rise in prices,
I am almost a rich man.
