My lil bro almost burnt down our house after putting a frozen pie in teh microwave for about 20 min. Smoke was billowing out of the microwave worse than a chimney. The entire house was engulfed in a thick dark smoke... The hallway was so bad I almost needed an oxygen tank to get down there.



Now the pie has been discarded, all the doors and windows in the house are open (that I could get to), but there is still a problem. The house STINKS of smoke... how do I get rid of it.



My dad has gone away and it's just me and my brother here.
 
Looks like you need to go to the store and buy a bunch of candles and other smelly good stuff. Some stuff masks the odors and some fights the odors. Make sure you read the lables.

Febreeze and air freshner.
 
Open all the windows, get some kind of air flowing. And see if you can go someplace else for the night, don't stay there unless it's really clear, because inhaling smoke doesn't sound like a good idea. Do you have a fan or something to..project...the smoke...outside? And vinegar. Baking soda? It's like a hit or miss sort of thing with me, but it seems to work.



This sounds like something I would do. Blow something up in a microwave. For the record, never microwave marshmallows.
