Perhaps you already have?
The local climatic conditions may need to be similar or exactly the same.

Hey Craig,
well yes I am I suppose.
It was just plain spooky. The smoke and smell lasting long enough to get me frazzled and looking round for the fire extinguisher - before realising that the smell wasn't 'fire' smoke but something completely different.
Then the smoke and smell disappeared after which I quickly stuck my head in the cupboard looking for the fire or whatever. But there was nothing. It was just plain spooky, - no other words to describe it.
The crockery is the same stuff we've used and put in and out of the cupboard a million times before and since without any of this jiggery pokery happening.
The various attempts at rational explanations here - beetles and fungi - I don't think hold any sway since I'd have seen anything untoward when I looked in the cupboard immediately afterwards.
So for the moment, there seems to be no logical explanation.
