Cody, Arm and Hammer Baking soda. Get a big box and sprinkle the whole thing in there, then close it up. I learned this after Katrina when dealing with the nastiness in the fridges and freezers. Only last week, someone left some formerly live scrimps in an ice chest at my camp. I didn't have a lot of room in the boat and I had emptied the chest earlier that day, so I just stowed it in the camp. It's been darn hot lately. The smell hit me when I opened the door. I busted out the baking soda. This was Monday. I was out there until today. I opened the box before I left and there was only the faintest odor. It'll be gone by Saturday when I get back.
Someone mentioned charcoal. It will do great, but get lump charcoal, not the briquettes. For heaven's sake, not the kind with lighter fluid in it. Put it in a towel and bash it up with a hammer. This exposes more surface area and allows the charcoal to do its work.
