    Been running my fireworks stand outside Houston for about 5 years now and every summer I deal with the same problem – the heat. We’re talking 95+ degrees with humidity off the charts. I keep my inventory in a metal shipping container and even with shade it gets hot as an oven in there. I’ve noticed some cakes start getting brittle cracks on the tubes after sitting in the heat for a few weeks. Anyone else in the south dealing with this?

    Texas heat is no joke for storage. I’m in Nebraska so our summers are hot too but not as bad. Biggest thing is keep them out of direct sun and off concrete floors in the garage – concrete pulls moisture like crazy. Plastic totes with silica gel packs help a lot. If you can keep them under 90F you’re probably fine for consumer stuff.
