CO method help/advice.

[LittleBlackCat]

Considering CO method and wondering if this will be enough? There are lots of starter kits available online - this one comes with 2kg of briquettes - are the briquettes sufficient or would I need coals instead? I'm currently reading the mega thread but wanted some more opinions…
My rough idea from what I've read - is book a hotel ideally with outside space (such as a cabin in forest/nature) or hotel room with a balcony so I can light the bbq outside on the balcony- probably at night so I have less chance of being spotted. Burn the bricks and let them stop smoking/burning red, (white in colour)? then empty into a steel bucket, place on some bricks to stop the surface burning. Bring this into the hotel bathroom, tape up the gaps along the doorframe and any air vents if im able to reach them.. drink alcohol/take benzos or propranolol. Lie down in bed that I will have made on the floor or in the bath and wait.

Sorry for the word dump does this sound even remotely ok? I don't have a car. Im not planning this anytime soon.. hopefully next summer as it makes more sense, seasonally, and also gives me more time to plan and deal with my loose ends before I go.

If anyone could give me feedback I would appreciate it. Thanks
I should add that I have actually had CO poisoning before. I lived in a house where there was a leak. I went to work the next day and left work sick with severe headache, nausea and dizziness. By the time I got home there was a maintenance guy there, my boyfriend's mum had called him out because everyone was sick with CO poisoning symptoms. The guy said if we had not all left for work early that day and carried on sleeping for a few more hours, we would have all been dead.

My headache symptoms wore off after a few hours and I felt fine. So I know if I fail my symptoms shouldn't be permanent (hopefully?) if this doesn't work I'll go with SN. Sorry for sounding so clueless:

I don't know where in the world you are but most hotels have strict fire regulations. I think even if you managed to burn the coal on a balcony with all the smoke and smell with no one notice, once you bring them inside the detectors will go off and possibly the building will be evacuated because they think there's a fire. Not sure about the rest I like the co method but it's seem so hard to get right.

Exactly what justwanasleep said. A small tent would work better.

Definitely considering a tent too.. just would prefer a hotel room with a tiny bathroom, more comfortable I suppose.
Agree I'd have to somehow deactivate a smoke detector in the bathroom.

I'm considering this exact plan as well. I agree with the comfort part about being in the bathroom. I was thinking of taping absolutely every single thing and detector in the hotel room (or honestly just the bathroom) in hopes it'll work and not set anything off.

I'm thinking that the coals won't be smoking at that point anyway, just hot - so unless it's a heat detector it should be ok. I don't know ..

The one issue is definitely lighting it and not getting detected. I've worked in hotels before so depending where you live, they respect your privacy. Meaning like, they don't have cameras placed in any of the rooms but obviously everywhere else. I highly doubt they put individual cameras on balconies so you won't have to be paranoid over that. It's just the people who will witness the fire first hand if they do.

Yes! They won't be smoking and it'll be completely fine to bring it. Just gotta be careful of CO detectors. Maybe ask front desk if they have them in the rooms, or it should be said on their website. I attempted CO poisoning on Halloween but chickened out. I remember the coal starter made a huge ass flame in the beginning so that'd be my only concern to be caught doing
