I toss my used rags in the wood stove.  Wet/dry, summer/winter, in use/not in
use doesn't matter.

Never had a fire light itself yet, but there's always a first time!

unusual.

Perhaps. But really, so little effort is needed to avoid the risk of 
catastrophe. To my mind, it's a no-brainer, like buying a $2 lottery 
ticket on a multi-million dollar prize. Sure the odds against may be 
tremendous, but  where's the harm? In summer, I hang oily rags on some 
chain link fence, then bin them in the alley once dry. In winter I dunk 
them in a sealer of water which I keep handy to the bench, then spread 
them on snow til frozen, and eventually bin.

FWIW
