Chris, First, stay away from any open fire or very hot objects(particularly metals).
Second, Open the small cap first slowly to allow the air pressure to equalize. and lastly open the big cap. As much as possible keep the caps on as moisture would easily accumulate in the methanol. Some companies use faucets attached to the heads and have the drums tilt, the get from the faucets minimizing moisture contact.
