Does the inside of the car get hot in CO method?

[Chairbed3]

I have been reading about the CO method and have read here from posters who tried it in their cars or bathrooms that the interior gets too hot. How to go about it then?

1. Does this heat damage the car and is there any risk of catching fire?
2. If it's too hot then how are people able to lose consciousness after getting in?
3. Does it fill the car with smoke? I'm aware that you need to light it outside and take the smoldering coals inside.

Please help I tried scrolling through the CO mega thread but I couldn't find related information.

It will get hot in the car. If you want it to be more tolerable, do it in cold weather. You need to keep the container of charcoals away from upholstery, and you need to set the hot container on something non-heat conductive, like bricks or cement blocks. Breathing in the high level of CO is what makes you go unconscious. The charcoals should be lit outside the car and allowed to get burning until they are red-hot and not smoking (or smoking very little) before even moving them into the car. Once charcoals are in the car, you should allow time for the CO to build up before you get in the car. You need to know how much charcoal to use, what type, and you need to seal potential leak areas. If you screw it up, you can end up with permanent neurological damage that you'll have to live with should you survive the attempt.
