Carbon Monoxide

[don'tgetanybigideas]

I've read a lot of information about how exactly to go about burning charcoal in order to produce CO. As far as I can tell: you leave the charcoal to burn outside until it's grey ash and then bring it into a (sealed) room, and just wait. Is it really that simple, or have I missed something?

If this is wrong and you know how it's really done, I would love to hear from you.

Thanks so much, x

Should be... but it's not it seems. There are plenty failed attempts. But you have the idea correct. Read some stories when the search function comes back up. Search using CO.., you'll get lots of posts to read. Start with the CO megathread in the resource section if you haven't already.
