Fire extinguisher recommendations?, Time to replace. Options

[mountainroads]

This topic has probably come up before, I honestly tried the search function with several options, but couldn't find anything??

The in-cabin fire extinguisher that came with the car is up for renewal. I'm a cheap bastard at heart, but this doesn't seem like the right time to cheap out and forego a replacement, even if it's for something I hope I'll never have to use. Especially since even the "good" ones I saw were all sub-$100 (?)

I like the idea of keeping handy in the cabin instead of one of the trunks. Realize that comes with some space and mounting considerations. FWIW: My existing unit was mounted parallel to the tunnel and ahead of the shifter (no center console box). What does this esteemed knowledge base use and where/how do you mount? Thanks in advance for recommendations.

PS: Hope I'm not opening another religious debate, similar to "What's the best engine oil?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Have you ever seen these? They are pretty cool in action. I have watched a few people use them on auto fires.

Same idea as https://elementfire.com/products/element-e50 ...

I haven't seen one in person, but there has been talk of them over on the Pelican forum. Tiny, they go for 50 seconds, and leave no residue. Seems like a good option.

As for the comment about cabin fire extinguishers not being of value ... I put out a small engine fire on my racecar this past summer with a handheld due to an intake backfire. Large fires start as small ones ... I carry a handheld in all my older cars.
