CO would be my preferred method if and when the need arises, and It will be carried out inside a vehicle - a Toyota rav 4 that I own.
the plan would involve burning the charcoal in 2 or 3 chimney starters first, then place the lit, none smoking coal into 2 metal buckets, place the buckets in the car with this vents duck taped, then get in with sleeping pills. Hopefully by the time the lethal concentration of CO gets reached as I will be in deep sleep. This should happen in winter after a heavy snowfall
My question is, the bucket will likely get extremely hot with the coal, and there is a risk of setting the inside of the car on fire, this must be avoided. But I'm not sure what would be the best way to do it
I thought about buying some bricks from a local hardware store and placing them in the back of the car and put the bucket on top of the bricks, but I am concerned that the bricks would also get too hot,
Maybe I could use a large metal tray and full it with snow, and then place the buckets on top of the snow, but I'm not sure if the coals can burn properly to reach lethal CO concentrations if bucket is losing heat from contact with the snow.
Any help or suggestion on this and critique of my plan would be much appreciated
Thanks SS
my apologies if fireproofing the car was already discussed in other threads, I haven't seen much mention of using snow as insulation
