this is a list of the most important gear required to complete my method (carbon monoxide poisoning via burning charcoal and transferring to a tent).
of course, i have not yet included small items such as fire starters, tape, and other additional items - but this will all be included in my final, revised gear list.
right now i have opted for affordable options, which i will use for testing purposes first. after testing, i can determine whether the quality of my gear is sufficient enough to CTB - if not, i will consider more expensive options.
i am yet to purchase any of the below items, but plan to after the end of this month - excluding the CO meter, since this will take some saving up!
- Pro Action 2 Person 1 Room Dome Tent £25
my main concerns for this tent is that it only has a 1000mm hydrostatic head - and does not have a zip up door, rather it is secured by toggle buttons. lots of duct tape will be needed here to secure the door shut from inside.
i will consider different tents after testing.
- 4kg Homefire Lumpwood Charcoal £6.99
the tent has 2.46 cubic meters. assuming i need 135g/cubic meter of lumpwood charcoal to achieve the desired concentration of CO, i will need only 335g of charcoal. this bag will be more than sufficient to carry out testing and CTB.
i will be using lumpwood charcoal rather than briquettes to ensure higher purity.
- Wilko Portable Camping Grill With Black Lid £20
the grill has legs to prevent burning a hole in the bottom of the tent, but i also will use a tray of water positioned underneath the grill - and has ventilation in the lid, which will release the carbon monoxide into the tent.
im not certain whether the grill will be big enough to hold all the charcoal i need, so this will be determined during testing.
- TPI 707 Carbon Monoxide Analyzer £274.26
this carbon monoxide meter reads from 0-10,000 (ten thousand) parts per million.
i have not been able to find one for a more affordable price. anything cheaper is only a home use meter - and does not read above 1000 (one thousand) parts per million.
