Where to buy charcoal?

Featured Replies

Also, what is the name for it in Thai?

Need to get rid of refrigerator odor.

Much thanks in advance.

Thaan / ถ่าน

(Same word as for 'battery'. To add more context, try 'Thaan Ad Thaeng' (ถ่านอัดแท่ง), which are the pressed blocks that burn much longer. (Get a mix of some regular charcoal ones that light easier and then the pressed coal ones for a long burn.)

Anyway: at any local market. Usually some shop that sells general items.

The local choice is farang leaves.

How long does it take to cook a refrigerator?

Exceptionally good post.

In a few lines you've provided a lot of useful information.

One thing that might be added is that charcoal is sold in sacks out in the countryside along some roads.

Much cheaper.

After deodorizing the fridge he might want to celebrate with a barbecue.

Maybe the fridge needs a good cleaning with cleaning vinegar?

Definitely, buy a bottle of white vinegar, you can use it for all sorts of things, including as an underarm deodorant - seriously, it kills the bacteria that makes the pong, the sweat itself isn't really smelly, they say a bit garlicy, but a bit of antiperspirant or a swipe with a salt crystal stick will retard the sweat. Lemon and lime slices or juice work too. I started using vinegar then moved to lime juice when my deodorant stopped working and I couldn't find one that did; I was very paranoid about it at first, but it really does work.

The vinegar smell evapourates from all surfaces (including the skin) within 5 minutes.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

You could use baking soda

Does not burn.

For the charcoal, every local market has it.
