I have decided on the CO method.
My plan is to light two larger disposable bbqs When they stop smoking and the coals turn amber put them in my car. I have a very small 1ltr car.
How long after the smoke goes out do I put the bbqs in the car?
How long before I then get into the car?
Thanks for your help

The coals should be grey and remember they will still be very hot even after the smoke and flames have gone so make sure you put the bbqs on some bricks .

I wish I had the time and energy to compile all the information. Here are a few pointers. A newer model car or truck works best. They have door seals that are newer and better. Tape all the air vents with a good waterproof tape. This will not stop 100% of the airflow, but it helps. You need a little air flow as to not extinguish the coals completely. A little oxygen coming in but not too much helps maximize CO production. Make sure your burning apparatus is elevated from the floor, most use bricks and a pan of water to dissipate heat. A CO monitor is helpful, especially one that goes up to 10,000 ppm. These are available from WW Grainger at a cost of around $450 US. Get the 707 model. Low levels of CO can cause nausea, vomiting, headaches. There are two theories of thought on this. Place the glowing embers in the vehicle and let build up while drinking some alcohol. Letting the ppm get very high before entering, above 7000, you bypass many of the lower level CO symptoms, and you become unconscious very quickly. Preparation is the key. Understanding CO levels and the effects are important also. Properly set up, and CO levels over 6000 for more than 45 minutes, is pretty much guaranteed.

Thanks so much for the detailed info its really help full, so once everything is set up wait apporx 45 mins to get into the car, is that right?
