Oh, just saw it, checking it out now, thanks
You're going for the regatta this time? Best of luck this time, I hate to say it but this could be useful info for me. I assume you are going to tape up the air vents?Finally.

Yes, hoping to start the charcoal in around 6 hours if all goes to plan. And yeah I've got this canvas tape stuff (got from a camping store) and bin liner so I think that should work for blocking ventilation?You're going for the regatta this time?

It's from GO Outdoors.Is that starter from Homebase?
It got to me as well, hope he goes through the night peacefully.Man when looking at those pictures from your ctb gear it makes it more "real". Idk how to describe it but it's different from just text on a forum by a nickname.
Anyway i feel for you. Best of luck with your endeavor.
I'm sorry to say I won't be awake then, I hope things go as planned. Not sure you'll need the bin liner taping the vents from the outside would be sufficient as long as it's a strong seal I think. Hopefully all of the seams are airtight but even if you're only 95% sealed I think it will be sufficient.Yes, hoping to start the charcoal in around 6 hours if all goes to plan.

I want to tape from the inside though. I just feel it eliminates the chance of discovery during the process.I'm sorry to say I won't be awake then, I hope things go as planned.

Not dead yet. I've had a lot of last minute practicalities (unrelated to the method) to sort out, so the charcoal is still in the chimney starter but I think the timer's up in about 10 minutes. Should be getting in with the charcoal in around an hour and a half.And? It worked?
Dying now guys. I'm getting slightly short of breath and I can sense the CO in the air. I think it will work this time... provided I can stick it out... which I really really hope I can. I'm going to try and listen to music and drift off to sleep... goodnight... x
I think she made it :)
Gives me courage to go now. At my campsite and ready to fire up the charcoal.
