Would this work?

Pictured is what I am going to buy

Going to use newspaper in those heavy duty chimney starters to get the coal going
I will leave them for about 90-2 hours till the coals are red hot, I don't have thermometer unfortunately.

Then I will decant the chimneys into the big buckets and take them to the bathroom. The bathroom will have dust sheets all around it duct taped around windows and vents etc to stop it escaping.

I will put the buckets into the bath and I will lay on comfy duvet and have loads of alcohol and some sleep pills.

Let it do it's thing, how does that sound?

the recommended amount of coal per square meter
The calculate the minimum required amount of charcoal which is 0.135 kg/m³ and double that amount.

you need to measure the room size in meters
total_room_size==length*width*height
coal_required==0.135/ total_room_size
double it

Can I not just burn a shit load of charcoal

Can I not just burn a shit load of charcoal

The problem is defining what a "shit load" of charcoal is. Why not just measure the room - L x W x H - and calculate with the .135 kg/m³ amount to find an exact minimum amount of charcoal? Then take whatever amount you calculate and multiply it by a factor of "4" for "assurance" purposes. Also, it will not take anywhere near 90 minutes for the charcoals to get "red" hot. Maybe 30 minutes. You don't need a thermometer. You will be able to see them glowing red when they are ready and not producing any smoke. They should be placed in the bathroom ahead of time before you enter, maybe 20 minutes, to give the CO time to build up. This is a risky way of doing this because you will not know what the actual level of CO is in the room without having a CO Analyzer to measure the CO concentration. If it's not high enough, you could severely injure yourself and not die, possibly becoming a vegetable due to neurological damage.

Ok I appreciate your Frank advice on this one. I don't understand. If I got to sleep in there surely it will be enough, deffinetly do not want to be a vegetable - can't stand Kevin the carrot

It *may* be enough, it *may* NOT be enough. People do die in there sleep from CO poisoning all the time due to faulty furnaces and plugged-up chimneys. BUT, whether, or not, you would be successful cannot be based on that. What if your bathroom is more "leaky" than you know? How about leakage where the walls and floor meet, behind the molding? There are lots of variables. The only real way to know, or at least gain a reasonable amount of certainty, about whether you *should* be successful is to use a CO analyzer and physically measure and monitor the room and the CO level that is attained. Ideally, you would want a CO concentration of 10000 PPM, or higher, to be assured of a quick and peaceful death with absolute minimum amount of suffering.
