Method Charcoal method, advice?

[burglarlydante]

I'm about to do the Charcoal method in a small bathroom and I need tips for accomplish this! So how should I do this?
I have an large bbq and some tape to lock down the bathroom!
So I need some advice or some really good plans for me!
Because the pain never ends and my life is going from bad to worst!
I took a picture of my bbq to see if it's possible to use it?!
There it is
I will thank everyone that helps me to be successful!

Yes the BBQ is ok. Did u calculate the volume of your bathroom? The minimum amount of charcoal is 0.135kg/m³, but I would use 3-4 times that amount. Lump charcoal is recommended. CO is a little bit lighter than air, You should not lie on the floor.

Here's a guide:

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...

I did not calculate the volume of my bathroom, in fact I don't know how to do this, how could I calculate this?

Measure the length - the width - the height in m then multiply l x b x h = volume in m³ of your room.

If you want to be on the safe side, get a CO meter so you know how much CO exists in the room.

A CO analyzer. Totally different. A meter just beeps. An analyzer measures CO level in ppm.

Any potential leakage points in the bathroom need to be sealed up. You really should read the CO Megathread.

What is the difference between BBQ and chimney starter?

Nothing

I never thought about the difference between CO meter and CO analyzer, I considered them the same.

So this device is being sold as a CO/CO2 Meter and measures ppm, but according to you it's no use because isn't an 'analyzer'?

Extech CO260 CO/CO2 Meter | Flir

The Extech CO260 monitors indoor air quality for carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels. In high concentrations these gases can affect the health and well-being of people and pets. Monitor CO₂ levels in schools, office buildings, greenhouses, factories, hotels, hospitals...

Seems like a case of tomatoes, tomatoes.

Look buddy, the one you linked doesn't even tell you how high a concentration of CO it will measure, which basically makes it worthless. Might as well just buy a detector that alerts you to the presence of CO. They can call it anything they want. The fact of the matter is that the companies that produce the good ones, not the one you mention, call them analyzers, because they do just that, analyze the air quality and quantitatively report the actual amount of CO in ppm based on the analyzed sample size. If you prefer basic layman terminology, by all means call them a meter. You can call them a brown-finger-up-the-ass-licking-good-tasting-beep-beep-beep-display-device if that's what you want to call them. Makes me no nevermind.

I'm not your buddy, pal.* The amount of ppm it can measure is right under specifications. My mistake though, I thought it could measure up to 9999ppm CO, but that's CO2. For CO it's only 1000ppm. I'm reading you'll be unconscious in 45 minutes and dead in 2 or 3 hours if the CO concentration is 800ppm.

I'd highly recommend this comment to anyone interested in discussing philosophy

Can always drag religion into it, too, if that's what makes the meter-boat float............

You're right, you're not my buddy. Very happy for that. Anyway, I'll still give provide a bit of info for you, as I don't want to see anyone screw themselves up. If you, or anyone for that matter, decides to go the CO route, make sure you get the level up to 10000 ppm minimum. Why suffer, right? Get a *ahem* meter that is capable of measuring up to 10000 ppm. A few breaths and you're unconscious and then you don't have to consciously suffer all the effects from the CO. About $300 for the meter.

* It was a reference to a South Park episode. You should watch it; something tells me you need a laugh.

Yes, 12800 ppm will result in immediate unconscious and death between 1 or 2 minutes. I thought the - let's call it - device could measure up to 9999 ppm, but that's only CO2. All the ones I can find are either 1.000 ppm or 2.000 ppm.

Since the OP is looking for information (and I'm interested as well): can you advise a device that will measure up to 10.000 ppm (or higher)?

Edit: TPI CO Analyzer, got it. Can't find the 706 on the Europe site, only on US.

I don't watch south park. I find it rather pedestrian. Laughs come when they do, albeit infrequently.

Yeah, you're on the right track with TPI. I don't know what to say about the European shipping issue. Seems like there should be a company in Europe who either sells them there, or a US company that will ship to Europe, but I really don't know. I think 10000 ppm is quite sufficient, pretty much guranteed to result in death, and about as peaceful as anyone should realistically expect.
