Bit of a resurrection here however I finally got into the fire extinguisher battle. I spent quite some time on the phone today with a few different extinguisher suppliers and the end result was that I would want a halotron or FE-36 fire extinguisher, one classified as ABC, because of the potential for the materials inside to catch on fire.
This has been well discussed among everyone here, the part that caught me off guard was when they said the size I would need to reach that standard. 9lbs for the FE 36 or 11 lbs for the Halotron, its only after these capacities that you reach the 1A rating required for putting out a wood fire.
For those curious, I’m looking at $580 for the Halotron or $537 for the the FE 36 in Canada. If anyone has a source with a better price for an extinguisher of that size please share.
