Traditional charcoal is the go-to choice for BBQ fuel, offering a multitude of advantages in both flavor and performance.

However, the usefulness of charcoal extends far beyond grilling.

We present you with 5 smart and practical uses for charcoal in your everyday household beyond your favorite BBQ:

1. Odor Control: Use a small amount of powdered or lump charcoal to eliminate unpleasant odors from your space. For example, if your refrigerator or a cabinet smells, after taking care of the cause, place some charcoal in a bowl and let it work its magic. You will notice very quickly that it will absorb the unpleasant smells.

2. Moisture Absorption: Use charcoal to absorb moisture. If you have a humidity problem in a room or basement, place a sufficient amount of charcoal or charcoal powder in a spot and let it do its job!

3. Gardening: Charcoal has many properties that make it useful in gardening. You can find it as an "additive" to many fertilizers or soils. Some of its properties include adjusting soil pH, repelling insects, and killing weeds. It can also absorb any odors from manure.

4. Painting and Arts: Charcoal can be used for various artistic purposes, such as painting and collage. There are artworks that incorporate charcoal and create a "mosaic-like" effect.

5. Air Freshener: Add a few drops of essential oil to the charcoal before lighting it. The heat will release the fragrance of the essential oil, creating a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere in your space.

6. Activated Carbon: Finally, let's not forget that with the advancement of technology, the properties of charcoal have been enhanced through "activated carbon." Activated carbon has become a staple in our lives in air filters, toothpastes, cleaners, and cosmetics.
