Method Carbon monoxide

[unholyspirit]

So, I'm new here, so I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this.

Anyway, is the carbon monoxide death method really quick and painless? And like, does a lit grill in an enclosed space work?

Sorry if there are any typos too, my english is not very good.

Symptoms might include intense headache, intense vertigo, and heavy breathing before passing out, but overall it is painless. Yes, a charcoal grill in a well-sealed environment will work.

Thanks.

Doesn't charcoal grill release CO2 as well? Which could induce feelings of asphyxiation

I am new here, sorry if I am wrong

It does... which is why you follow the instructions most people give and burn the charcoal in a ventilated area first until they are white hot and the flames are gone, then it is generating more CO from that point forward and any CO2 still being generated will be much smaller quantities and not pose a problem. CO bonds to your blood, so as long as you are getting enough of that, your body will starve from lack of oxygen and residual CO2 will not be a problem.

Charcoal makes CO2 when oxygen is plentiful, but in a closed space, it mostly turns into CO.

Yeah, makes sense

Im sure this will be my method when I ctb.
How long will it take for me to lose consciousness and die? I can't wait too long, otherwise I risk being "saved".

Sorry for asking again, I just want everything to go perfectly.

No problem. How quickly you pass out and how quickly you die depends on the PPM concentration. This is my method too, and I plan on doing a lot of experiments over the coming months, when the temperatures get cooler where I am.

Thank you very much.

But to be sure again, will a regular charcoal grill be enough? I won't need anything else, right? My bathroom is small, so the CO might take over quickly. (I think)

That's the last question, I promise. lol

It's actually hard to predict cause lot of variables are involved. You can check for yourself if you get a CO meter.

Yes, that'll be enough. Use a chimney starter to get the charcoal going, make sure room is sealed well, no air leakage anywhere.

Burn more charcoal than you think you need. As much as you can and use more than one container for burning. Having multiple separate containers burning at the same time make for a faster and higher peak. If you can get to 10,000 ppm and sustain for at least 30 minutes then it should work. If you can't get to 10,000 ppm and sustain then you need to sustain lower levels for longer. Anything over 3000 ppm should make you pass out quickly before any other symptoms. Breath as heavily as you can until you pass out.

When you posted this I was still in the hospital from my first attempt. Next time I will use 4x the charcoal, no sedatives, get in with the buckets instead of waiting for CO to build up, and burning charcoal in my garage where the car is parked so that any leaks won't be total fresh air.

How do you protect your surroundings from catching fire

How do you protect your surroundings from catching fire

It depends where you are doing it. Also if you ignite the charcoal outside and wait for the smoke to dissipate then the risk of fire will be much less. Just make sure you have air gaps between all the surfaces. If you can't air gap the bottom then make sure it is on something that is not going to catch fire.
