TGS,

Using an old fridge is both a good AND a bad idea.

A good idea because you can closely regulate the atmosphere in which you store your powder.

A bad idea, especially if the door is mechanically locked shut, in that if something did cause the powder to begin to combust it would become a large economy sized bomb.

If using an old fridge to store powder, do NOT lock the door, and don't use one of the older ones that has a mechanical latch. Use one that has magnetic door seals.

If the powder does go up, the pressure will pop the door open before it builds up to critical levels.

Beware the man with the S&W .357 Mag.
Chances are he knows how to use it.
