Uncle Jesse...
How about an approximate area in the Metropolitan Houston area for where Charlie's was(is?)? Was it also a B-B-Q place? All of this wil be of great help in answering your question. We do not have a Charlie's here in Katy.
'tis a shame the poor carpenter did not read my note on the flammability of such things before entering that house! Funny, though costly, story. Did the resultant explosion singe his eyebrows?

If you treat the stuff just like it was gasoline, you should have no storage problems. Anything less is risky. If the fumes bothered you that much, you might want to work with the opened container outside, rather than inside. Sorry about the mess!
