Clean Air For National Marshmallow Toasting Day | Cowaymega
You might have National Marshmallow Toasting Day already marked in your calendar for Friday, August 30th this year, and if you haven’t, this isn’t one to miss for some fun with friends and family. But if you’re roasting those puffy delights indoors over a fireplace, be aware that toasting marshmallows can create a surprising amount of smoke.
Discover the science behind marshmallow smoke and learn how Coway's air purifiers can keep your indoor s'mores party sweet and smoke-free with Coway.
The Smoky Side of National Marshmallow Toasting Day
Skewering a marshmallow or s’more and holding it over a burning ember while it melts is something of a rite of passage. Kids love it, and even adults rekindle fond memories. However, a by-product of that tradition is smoke, which can irritate the eyes and nose of anyone present or trigger allergies for people and pets in the house.
It doesn’t matter if you’re using wood or charcoal as your fuel source. Both will produce smoke (with greener wood producing more) and the aroma can linger long after National Marshmallow Toasting Day has ended.
How to Enjoy Clean Air with Coway
You can toast your s’mores to your heart’s content with a Coway Airmega air purifier in the room. The HyperActive air filtration system is designed to tackle air containing high levels of particulate matter, from dust and dander to VOCs and smoke.
Outstanding filtration performance
The secret, almost silent, weapon against smoky air is the dual filtration system that leaves nothing behind.
- Washable Pre-filter to capture any large particles of ash or soot
- Max2 activated carbon filter to neutralize smoky odors with 99% effectiveness
- Green True HEPATM filter to remove 99.97% of airborne particles from the air (including ultra-fine particles)
You won’t have to hold back on your roasting while your Coway air filter catches up. The Airmega 400, for example, can purify 3120 sq ft in 60 minutes, so a single unit is enough to manage a large family area and your air is cycled multiple times.
Advanced Features Enhance Your Toasting Experience
Since your focus will be on achieving the perfectly toasted marshmallow, you don’t want to be tinkering continuously with your air purifier. With Coway, just set it up and let the smart features do their magic.
- Real-time Air Quality Monitoring: Your Coway air purifier will show you the current air quality (good, moderate, unhealthy, very unhealthy) and alert you when there’s a change. That’s important year-round, not just in s’mores season, since a lot of the allergens and pollutants in the home are too small to be seen with the naked eye.
- Smart Modes: You can choose auto, eco, rapid, turbo, silent, or sleep modes instead of leaving your model running after it’s completed filtration.
Other Ways to Promote Clean Indoor Air
Yes, you can choose to roast your marshmallows or s’mores in the oven for a smoke-free experience, but it’s the process as much as the end product that gets kids (little and big) excited. So if you’re sticking with a conventional log or charcoal fire, try these additional tips to minimize smoke:
- Check that the ‘damper’ on your chimney is open (if fitted). This is the plate inside the fireplace that usually stops cold air from getting in, but should be open when the fire is lit.
- Only burn dry hardwood or charcoal. It’s the green/wet wood or damp charcoal that produces the thickest smoke. That’s great for a signal fire, but not much fun for a roasted marshmallow session.
- Warm up the flue first. Cold air in the chimney can push smoke into the living room, so you should heat up the flue first by burning a stack of light kindling.

3Aerosol test conducted in a Biosafety level 3 laboratory with two Coway air purifier models, Coway Airmega 250 and 400 for removal of SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol by US based MRI Global, a not-for-profit laboratory and partner of US Department of Defense. The test was conducted in a 13.1ft3 chamber. Virus was aerosolized for 15 minutes and the product was turned on high for 2 minutes. Result showed each product effectively removed over 99.98% of the SARS-CoV-2 in 2 minutes. This is a result from a laboratory experiment condition and result may vary in different conditions. This result does not imply it kills SARS-CoV-2 or prevents the transmission of Covid-19. Coway Airmega 250S and 400S are identical to the tested models and has equal performance with an additional mobile connectivity function.

It is not a demonstration result in the actual use space. Not all odors and gases may be supported. → Tested with Coway Airmega 150, 160, AP-1512HH, AP-1512HHS, 400, 400S
5The coverage area of the air purifier is based on an area where the air cleaner can make two air changes per hour (ACPH). An air change per hour translates to how many times an air purifier can clean an area, assuming the height of a ceiling to be 8 ft, in one hour. Therefore ** means two air changes per hour means that the cleaner can clean the area once every 30 minutes and * means air changes per hour means that the air purifier can clean the area once every 60 minutes.
