Okay I just need to know few things. i've decided charcoal method, just because of how much research i done and my plan. But idk if I got everything, i've read the mega thread and all that. Should i go to my dads cabin and tape the vents in the bathroom? I got a portable grill and a chimney starter, newspaper, charcoal, a lighter, so i hope i got everything. i wanna try to do it tomorrow , im just trying to make sure this will be my final attempt. also, does anyone know how i can test co levels without meter? i tried so hard to find one today and could not for the life of me, for some reason??? imma try again tomorrow since i gotta drive a few hrs so another town might have them but just in case? does anyone know step by step of how to do this all so i can be more confident in it all?

It is better to buy co meter as it is cheap

Charcoal depends on the size of your place but it is inexpensive

Another member plan use it as a reference

Items to Bring:
1 Person Tent
8-pound bag of charcoal
Portable Grill
Charcoal Chimney Starter
Duct Tape
CO Meter
Newspaper + Oil
Lighter

Steps:
-Set up the tent and cover all vents and windows with duct tape
-Ignite as much charcoal as will fit in the chimney starter
-Heat until the smoke clears (around 20 minutes)
-Dump hot charcoal into the portable grill and put the lid on
-Place the grill inside the tent, remove the lid, and close the door while waiting outside
-Allow build-up for 10 minutes, open the door, and check to see if CO is at 10000+ ppm (Will opening the door here let too much air in?)
-If at a sufficient level I enter myself, close the door, and wait to feel sleepy

Thanks for anyone that helps. I'm just trying to ensure I have everything right as a novice to camping.

guess it's more of the fact that i can't find one that goes to 10000 not just 1000 :(

have you read @Zanexx 's goodbye thread? it's very insightful and she documents a lot of her CTB preparations.

Put in mind that CO is a little bit lighter than air, if you do it in a room try not to lay down on the floor as there is the least CO concentration.

So I should sit? I was thinking abt laying a blanket down in the bathtub and sleeping but i could sit on the counter instead and sleep.
I found one co meter which can measure upto 10000 ppm
I just can't find one near me. I live in a village so idk.

Well, yes. The highest concentration is below the ceiling not on the ground. In a tent which is usually much lower than a regular room height it's less of an issue. There was a user lately reporting about a failed attempt. He stayed in the bathtub and because it took too long to pass out he stood up and walked outside the room and stopped the attempt. There he became unconscrious after a few seconds.

Okay gotchu gotchu. Thank you. I might look for a tent. But my funds will not probably support it .
