Discussion Charcoal method in car with AC on?

[PainAndSadness]

I've read many times here that the charcoal method in a tightly sealed car will successfully cause you to ctb but that it can get too hot sometimes.

I was wondering would it not be more efficient to turn on the car and keep the AC on while the charcoal is in the car? Would that not create higher CO ppm levels since the car AC reuses the same air? As I've read some people have ctb from CO simply by turning the engine and ac on in their car in a garage so if I were to do the charcoal method + turn the car on and the AC in a small garage, would that increase my chances to ctb or somehow clash and create an adverse effect?

Well, they're not doing that with newer cars because of all the pollution controls. Use the charcoal method in the winter, if that is an option, and heat is a concern. Seal the car well. More charcoal = more CO. More is better with CO.

Yes but if I do turn the car engine on and use the AC while doing this with the car sealed and the charcoal etc. would it be bad and cause not to ctb somehow or wouldn't it create more CO and increase the chances to ctb?

This won't work in newer cars with catalytic convertors. Plus ac will purify the air

How? Since AC uses the same air to output so it will be using the same CO, or am I wrong…
This person passed away fairly recently by keeping their car on in a garage with the AC on due to CO poisoning

Catalytic converters reduce emissions. I used to have a second-hand, 1985 Toyota Corolla. This tech goes back into the 70s on some cars. It's possible but will take longer to raise enough CO (Carbon monoxide). It's more difficult in modern cars.

One key risk is that someone will hear your car running inside a closed garage and call the police. If there are no houses nearly, like a farm in the country, maybe this would be ok.

Your car's AC might allow fresh air to enter, mine has a filter and a setting to do this.
Your charcoal will need oxygen to burn well. Love and peace to all.

The whole idea of the charcoal method is to get rid of as much oxygen as possible- that's the only way it works. Bringing in more oxygen will defeat the method.

i've read on reddit that CO gas can be legally bought in the U.S.? the post was 3 years ago.
is it the same now?
