Default Batteries? How do I avoid burning down my house.

Im new to 1:10 scale and LiPO batteries but I know they can be very dangerous. Im rebuilding a used SCT410 with a Gen 1 RX8 ESC and I wanted to some advice on how to best spend my money to be safe. If I were to budget $100-150 for a safe setup how should I do it? What brand batteries should I buy and what kind of container should I use to charge and store them in them im thinking 4S size but I could be convinced to go smaller since im not racing just bashing? I was thinking grill for charging though perhaps an ammo box would be a better bet if I can actually find one to buy. I have a really basic Imax B6AC charger that I had intended to use but if its unsafe I can buy something better.
