Flammable refrigerant kills 2 stones with 1 bird. Efficient cooling when needed, and instant heat when it bursts into flames!

Kidding aside, I'd consider it. The chance of fire seems pretty low, and the amount of refrigerant low enough that even if it did leak out and catch on fire, shouldn't do much damage.

I've shot camping propane bottles in a fire before, and it doesn't do much. Same with butane.
