Charcoal?! You want them to meet their Maker sooner than expected?!
I do not dare to use those nafta powered ones, on account of the fumes.
BTW, all new hands, please remember NOT to close all windows and leave a draft. Actually, it can save your life. In winter, as people take long hot showers, or forget to close the gas stoves, gas as in carbon monoxide poisoning. That is the reason old folk do not close the windows. They want to live…
Two of my electrical sockets started sparking and charring up last month. Lucky I was home and figured things out.
Got the electrician in to fix them.
He tells me they use plastic components in Taiwan into he sockets which would be illegal in the EU which uses ceramics. They just use these plastics cos…you guessed it…they are 1/5 the price of the ceramics or something.
The plastics heat up over the years and degrade and for some reason it gets hotter and hotter (or the connectors inside burn through …I don’t know ) and then they start to char. I plug in all my heavier watt items through those electrical cords with the automatic safety off switch now !
I don’t really understand how the sockets work in Taiwan because in Europe the plugs have a fuse in them. Is there a fuse on the inside of the socket or just no fuse anywhere?
