CO method - questions

[do0mer]

Hello, I'm thinking of using the CO method for my suicide. I'm mostly using this thread (https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/shubhs-co-guide-aka-freedom-from-cruel-existance-fce.224219/), but i still have some questions:

1) how to actually burn the charcoal?
- Guide says to just use a blowtorch on the charcoal pieces until they are red and glowing but would that be enough? It seems to me that the charcoal would just go out too quickly without producing a significant amount of CO that way

2) how to make sure the charcoal burns incompletely? (aka - how to limit the air supply)
- Assuming i heat up the coal pieces with the blowtorch until they are red and glowing (and they don't go out too quickly) should i do anything to limit the air supply aside from
simply closing my bathroom door? (it has no windows, but does have ventilation which i can tape over and the room is about 10.5m³ big). I thought of putting some kind of cover on the grill which i would be using and sealing it with tape but i think that would just cause the coal to go out even quicker

3) if i burn charcoal incompletely it will also release a lot of smoke - it that a problem while attempting?
- Here I'm mostly asking about my SI, would it be difficult to consciously enter a room filled with smoke? If its possible id prefer to limit the amount of smoke in case i survive (as not to damage the room i will be attempting in) If i wanted to prevent the room from being damaged would lining walls with plastic sheeting be a good idea?

4) According to my calculations (and i suck at math) I'd need about 1.5 KG of coal for a 10.5m³ room, is that correct?

1) just like you would in a regular bbq. Blowtorch is possible of course. Assuming you are as clueless in grilling as me then go for disposable bbqs (although better for smaller spaces)
2) tape is a good start. Just make sure to tape over everything as much as possible is what i would tell you. Any gaps no matter how small thats about it (not the grill itself tho)
3) yes it is a problem. Charcoal smoulders like crazy at first. Burn it for 30 minutes, let rest and cool down for 90 minutes and only then you can consider another steps. This makes the charcoal cooler, stop producing smoke and possibly prevent production of CO2 which is unwanted.
4) That is like the minimum yes. Personally i would atleast triple that amount just to be safe. Personally i am gonna use 2-2.5 kg of charcoal in a 4 cubic meters tent

I can tell you have done a bit of research but imo not enough.

Charcoal method advice

Hi, I somehow came across this site after some furious google searching over the weekend. After trying and failing other methods over the past month I came across back to the idea of carbon monoxide and decided to dig further into charcoal burning, of which there are plenty discussions on this...

4) According to my calculations (and i suck at math) I'd need about 1.5 KG of coal for a 10.5m³ room, is that correct?

The guides say 0.135kg/m³ so 1.5kg is correct but I'd double or triple that amount , maybe 5kg to be really on the safe side.

Also, CO is a little lighter than air.

1. It's really up to you, you could use a grill, a chimney starter, or kitchen utensils like cast iron skillets, hell you can even use a fire pit.
2. Like another person said use tape.
3. Yes it will release smoke but in particular carbon dioxide which causes a suffocation sensation, so if you don't want that I suggest you let the charcoal burn inside until it reaches peak concentration (10,000+ ppm is recommended) and then go inside so you don't have to experience the symptoms and so you can lose consciousness very quickly.
4. If I were you I'd go overkill, double, triple, or even quadruple it. I'm doing 16 lbs (7.257kg)
