What’s the best way to store 1.4G fireworks in a garage?

Got a decent haul from last month’s sale and my wife is already complaining about the boxes sitting in the living room. Trying to figure out where to stash em so they don’t turn into a problem. Garage gets pretty hot in the summer though. Is that an issue for consumer stuff or am I overthinking it?

Hot garage is actually fine for most consumer stuff as long as it’s not like 120F in there. The real killers are moisture and direct sunlight. Keep em off the concrete floor on a shelf or pallet so they don’t soak up damp. And obviously away from any gas cans or paint thinner you got sitting there. A cool dry spot beats everything else.

Good advice above. We’ve actually got a whole writeup on proper storage in the Fireworks Guide section of the site if you want the full rundown — covers temperature, humidity, and how long stuff stays safe in cardboard. Short version, like Mike said, dry and cool beats everything.
