Default Lightning Protection questions

I've heard of many folks putting sensitive gear inside the metal oven
for protrection. I have no idea how effective it is, but I doubt it
makes things worse.

That works about as well as anything. If I ever get spare handheld
electronics, I'll store them in metal "ammo" cases. There's always a
chance that a sufficiently-large strike will punch a hole through, but
I believe I'll have more major problems to deal with in that case.
