[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1980633, member: 2736"] From what I understand, a dry climate is better, but still but needs to be kept away from powder to prevent it from being to dry Increasing the burn rate. It should be stored in a cool dry space with the container sealed. The higher the moisture content, the slower the burn rate. I have heard of people placing Silica jell packs in powder to reduce the moisture content and this could actually dry the powder out to much and in effect cause it to change the burn rate to faster so it is not recommended. Stored in a cool dry cabinet/storage in the original container is still best. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
