[QUOTE="J-B welder, post: 2109251, member: 115997"] This actually makes sense. Wood insulates better than metal or plastic. Metal actually conducts heat, and plastic will melt. So in case of a fire, a wooden box will keep the powder from burning longer than a metal box or plastic container will, maybe long enough for the fire department to put out the fire before it gets to the powder/primers. It's also not a bad idea to keep the door to the room closed. As a volunteer firefighter, I've seen structures that were burned to the point of the studs being exposed and fully charred, but a room on the other side of a hollow-core wooden door escaped any fire damage. It won't hold back the fire forever, but it buys time, either for you to get out or for someone to extinguish the fire. [/QUOTE]
