Does anyone know anything about fire alarms? (asking for co charcoal method)

[HappiestAngel]

Hi sasu I'm considering using charcoal to ctb soon but there are three of these fire alarms in my apartment. They are really sensitive and I'm worried they might go off if i try to cover or disable them. Is there a way to remove them without setting the alarm? It'd be really bad if it went of while i attempted. I'm asking because this method is the easiest to access for me and i'd ideally ctb alone in my home.

I've never seen ones like those. Unfortunately they could pose a problem.

That looks like a wired in system. You can see the bulge in the paint from the wire running to it. This makes it so removing the battery may not completely disable it and popping them out can set them off. In theory if the CO method is done right it doesn't billow smoke but I would assume a multi-tenant building has CO detectors to be up to fire code. Sometimes people rig a plastic bag over detectors to smoke in hotel rooms. Doing the CO method in a multi-occupancy structure poses a lot of risk to others, not just from the CO but also fire when you go unconscious.

The methods i've read have you remove the coals from any active heat for the final part of the attempt. I'm also planning to do this in my bathroom since its the smallest room, so there should be nothing that the coals could burn even if they were knocked over or something. I'll also seal of my apartment and bathroom just in case and leave warnings for those who would find me.

Right, the coals outgas CO when they're glowing but no longer smoking nor aflame. In an apartment one has to consider transportation of the coals from where they're initially lit to inside. Having your own balcony that allows for grilling is ideal.

I don't mean to minimize your planning. Some people come here with reckless assumptions on how to carry out this method. CO is second to hanging in some Asian countries and many are likely done in high rise apartments. Personally, I'd use some patio bricks to put the container holding the coals onto to prevent heat transfer even in a "fireproof" bathtub. Fire safety, alarms, and CO getting it's way to potential upstairs neighbors are the main concerns I think.
