Safely setting up in garage? Also, blasting in heat

I have read quite a bit on here about the dangers of blasting indoors. What I'm curious about is if anyone has set up a safe successful garage workshop. Specifically, I'm thinking if I set up the table I'm blasting on with some ducting sitting right by the tubes, and using a can fan to blow out the dryer vent that it should be good enough ventilation. Also, I have an electric water heater. I think I should be able to just switch that off at the breaker to avoid any kind of spark. I was also thinking of using a portable ac in the garage to go help with the heat, which brings me to my next question. If the garage isn't a possibility, how do you handle blasting outside in high temps? I just moved to the desert and summers here get to 115 during the day down to a low of only like 95 in the early hours of the morning. It's still 100 around midnight often in the summer.

I definately wouldnt extract with a portable ac running. The compressor can cause a spark. With the portables ac's the compressor is in the unit right where you are extracting.....Very big explosion hazard!

I'm in Arizona. Other deserts may get cold at night but definitely not here! Ok so no indoors. Has anyone had experience blasting in triple digit weather? If I do it at night it'll still be close to 100 at times. I would go with water extraction but that's not what the demand calls for. I do it almost every day now, just wish there was a way to set up something permanent.

humidity should rise significantly at night, as long as its over 30% I would feel safe blasting. especially if in an open space with a slight breeze. I've blasted in triple digits, with high humidity though

stop being a pussy and just go outside. I live in the central valley it gets hot as fuck here too. We just suck it up and deal with it or else we move. Blasting indoors is a great way to end up on the news. get a canopy from lowes. the heat is great shit purges fast and u dont need to boil any water
