Been wondering how other people handle storage. I keep mine in a dry ammo can in the garage, but I feel like there’s probably a better system out there.
Do you guys use anything special? Climate controlled? Just a box in the shed? Curious what works for different setups.
I use a sealed plastic tote with a silica gel pack inside, stored in the basement. Keeps the humidity down and everything stays dry. Ammo can works fine too though – those things are basically airtight.
Ammo can is actually a solid choice. I use a couple of military surplus .50 cal cans myself. Just make sure you crack them open every couple months to let any trapped moisture air out. I learned that one the hard way.
Man I sell these things every day at my stand and people are always asking me this. For the money, the Excalibur Platinum is still the crowd favorite – consistent, loud breaks, good color. But honestly the Chinese imports have been killing it this year. I got a case of these Blue Thunder 500g cakes through a wholesaler and they’re legit – 36 shots, great blue/green effects, crackling finale. Half the price of the big US brands and the quality’s there.
If you want something that’ll really wake up the neighbors though, find a 500g with salute inserts. Those things slap. Just make sure your local laws allow it – I’m in Texas so we’re pretty free here lol.
