> I do not keep any rags which have oil, solvent or grease on them; they all go
in the fireplace.  The risk / reward curve argues strongly against jeopardizing
your home and / or shop to save a few bucks on rags. You only have to be wrong
once to be eternally on the negative side of the ledger.

Maybe it's just a NJ thing, but I'm with Tim on this.
Any/all rags carrying questionable materials are burned immediately after I've
used them.  I have a dedicated
1-gal paint can (metal, of course) in which they are deposited and ignited.  If
there's gonna be any burning going
on around my house, I'd much rather I be in charge of it.  I had a childhood
friend's house burn down due to his
father's inattention to a BLO-soaked rag, and I want none of that.
Thanks and happy TurkeyDay (a little early, I know) to all!
