CTB TODAY

[doXover]

Today is the day. Im currently in a rented cabin, and have it rented for 6 days. I have a 30lb of charcoal, 3 chimney starters, and 2 large ash buckets. I also deactivated the cabin smoke alarm, put it in a shower cap inside 2 layers of zip lock bags, and put it in the freezer lol. I have set up a program to message my family and the campgrounds about my hopeful death and the CO 12 hrs before my checkout time for the cabin.

Plan:
In a couple of hours, I will burn 6 chimney starters worth of charcoal. I will burn the 3 chimney starters, dump the charcoal in the first ash bucket, and move it to the bathroom. I will repeat and fill up the second ash bucket.

Cabin bathroom is small with only a sink and a toilet. The door is a sliding door that doesn't close properly, but I have waterproof gorilla duct tape and towels to block the gaps. Since it's a cabin, there are a few minor gaps in the walls, but HOPEFULLY it won't be an issue. I've read articles of people dying to CO for trivial reasons on accident. It'd be a cruel joke if I survived.

Backup plans:
I have enough charcoal to try and try again. If I survive the first time, hopefully ill have enough CO in my blood to kill me on attempt 2.

I have a waterproof single layer tent. If the bathroom doesn't work, I'll set up the tent indoors. I could use the tent first, but idk if it'd melt or not or if its a good one. I did my best to research something similar to the tent zanexxx used (something obtainable in the usa)

As a last resort I have my 2012 sedan. It's my last resort for two reasons: 1)its out in the open. Someone might see me. 2)its hot and humid as hell outside.


I will be updating this thread. Updates might come slow or not at all since the service is bad out here.

Wish me luck.

If you already go all this trouble, why don't you get a CO meter, and test your setup properly before you use it? I'd be scared of using CO unless I knew for sure the concentration was high enough, and the only way to test that is by using a CO meter.

CO is not my method, so I'm not an expert on it. Your attempt may work. However, I'm always baffled when someone tries something that they are already uncertain about to begin with. "Gaps in the walls" and "HOPEFULLY" definitely wouldn't be good enough for me. :| Personally, I'd be scared to make this attempt. But then again, I don't know what the potential risks are if you fail with CO. If it isn't too risky, you might as well try.

Sorry if I sound too negative or too cautious. You might have researched this more than me. It may work if the amount of charcoal you're using is overkill. In that case, the gaps in the wall may not matter. Still, since you used the word "hopefully" yourself, your plan sounds a bit risky to me.

What brand and type of charcoal are you using?

 

[doXover]

Kingsford charcoal briquettes
Batch 1 is almost done. Im burning the charcoal for 2 hours. Will move batch 1 to the bathroom and start batch 2 soon

Isn't 30 pounds of glowing red charcoal way too much in a small bathroom? The main issue here is excessive heat generated, not excess CO.

10 pounds should be more than enough IMO.

Dont worry. Im burning about 12-15 lbs. I have 30lb as back up so I can try again. 15 is still a lot but I haven't slept in 40 hrs so im already about to pass out from sleep deprivation. But yeah the heat would kill me from 30lb haha

Not negative at all! Alls good friend. I overused the word hopefully haha. When I mean cracks I mean like 2 little slivers of light that an ant can crawl through. The rest of the walls are good. Im just stressing that ill be unsuccessful while some people are dying to accident CO poisoning. I've been planning this for a few months so "hopefully" it'll be a success

Im burning the charcoal for 2 hours

In the chimney for two hours?

 

[DeathSweetDeath]

I think the sliding bathroom door sounds sketchy though, I'd use the tent instead but it's your attempt.

 

[nettspend]

How's it going OP?

 

[GroundControl]

Godspeed, man. CO is my method as well. I managed to get the Regatta despite being in the USA. All hail Walmart, I guess. Hope things are going well for you dude.
