Some reason this has been on my mind lately, Im fixing to make a stash. I know that would be harder for you city dwellers to do beyond your backyard. I dont plan on burying anything though.

accidental fire

How is your dryer vent?

It is the #1 reason for modern US house fires (key word - modern - most other fire risks have been eliminated) ... and I didn't see "I clean my dryer vent at least once a year" on your list.

My friends house burned down for this reason.

All dryer vents need to be cleaned yearly. ESPECIALLY if the pipe is anything except a 6 inch straight 4 inch tube. Mine has a couple right angles and a vertical section, so I clean it religiously.

Amazon and others sell various dryer vent cleaner kits which include a flexible wand with a brush that you hook up to a cordless drill.

I don't ever run the dryer without being home, It used to be in the basement and had to go straight up out of the dryer 5' and then another 6' horizontal. I'd have to take the whole dryer apart every year to clean it too because it was such a hard push and a few times there was a lot of burnt lint on the dryer heater. I moved it upstairs and made it only about a 2' horizontal run, The difference in how fast it can dry clothes now is a 1/4 the time it took before.

Lithium batteries are the most house fires I've personally seen. I hate leaving power tool batteries charging when I'm not home.
