I hope you and your wife are out, but if your not someone is going to go get you.
Even if you ARE out someone is going in to go in in order to save your property, irreplaceable family treasures and memories.
Store it how you want, of course.
You're doing no one any favors sealing it in a steel container.
Besides, if a steel container is what saves you from accidentally igniting several pounds of powder, a LOT of bad decisions were made prior to that point.
Not trying to be a jerk, I assure you. Just something to think about.
