Wrap the CD burner in plastic and secure it with packaging tape.


No, no, no. Wrap the CD itself in tinfoil. That's all that is
necessary.


Put it in the bathtub and submerge it in water.

Now you can burn CDs all day long with no worry of fire.

When you get through the water should be warm enough to bathe in.

Please note: I have not tried this yet, it's just my theory.
