Hi,
The cones will be fine. The only thing that might damage the cones is if
they get totally wet as in a flood. Heat and cold and humidity will not
affect their performance. Happy firing.

I have several boxes of cones that I have had for many years. During that time, they endured 1 year in storage outside of Oklahoma City where I assume the temp inside the storage area got quite hot in the summer. Since last August, they are in the garagio in Desert Hot Springs where the temp can reach - who know, but it can be 115 or so outside during the summer. A couple of questions:
- will storage in a hot garage or hot storage effect the accuracy of these cones?
- should I bring the new cones I just bought into the house where the temp usually stays at 85 or below?

Thanks
