I seriously suggest posting this specific question over at Slowtwitch.com as many of the guys there have experience of doing this, and it is a safety-related question.
Apologies to the mods for recommending a rival site. I know I have done this once before, but this time I'm doing it again because of the safety elements of the OP's question.
