I did some big purchases awhile back when rocket motors were particularly inexpensive. Keep them in the rocket room in the house because it's temperature and humidity controlled. The garage gets to about 130 F or so and is stupid humid. I keep most of the motors in sealed ammo containers, but now I had more motors than I could fit in those. A mix of mostly BP and a few APCP. Noticed a pretty unpleasant stink in that room after a little while. It's gone up and down, sometimes clearing out completely, other times coming back, generally decreasing over time.
Sunday, I put all the motors that weren't in sealed ammo containers into heavy "ziploc" bags with silica gel packs.
Tonight, I went in there, and I can smell the pine boards that I used to make shelves back in September in the closet with a closed door. Success.
Yet another reason to keep your motor stash sealed up.
