Here's my CTB plan. Advice?

[doXover]

Hi everyone. This is my first post, but I've been lurking for a while now. I've been reading various posts and megathreads to help plan my CTB method which will be charcoal burning. Here's what I have planned out so far:

Supplies:
=====
- rental cabin with bathroom
- 4 kingsford chimney starters
- 4 steel buckets
- 4 cement slabs/blocks
- a lot of kingsford charcoal briquettes (20 lbs or more)
- a lighter + paper for kindling
- towels and gorilla tape


Method:
=====
1) Book a cabin with a bathroom (or a small enclosed space) for 5 days or more. I'll seal up all gaps & vents in the bathroom using towels and gorilla tape.

2) Burn the charcoal using 4 chimney starters. Let charcoal burn evenly for about 60-90 minutes, until it reaches a glowing red-hot state.

3) After charcoal is glowing red-hot, transfer into steel buckets.

4) Bring steel buckets into bathroom and sit in the room, taking normal breaths.

5) Hopefully pass out and CTB. If I survive, redo the process if I physically am capable to.


Points I'd like to mention:
=================
⬤ I'm currently searching for a remote cabin to rent. I'm avoiding AirBNB because I'm assuming they have cameras and that the renter will keep in contact with me during my stay.

⬤ I thought about using a tent or my car, but I'm afraid of people/park rangers/police finding me. I live in a densely populated area. Also the weather is unbearably hot.

⬤ I'm also thinking about purchasing a malawi tent and setting it up inside the cabin if using a bathroom is deemed insufficient or unreliable.

⬤ I'm using 4 chimney starters to increase the amount of CO which hopefully will be enough to kill me. And the reason why I'm using 4 buckets instead of a large basin is so if I survive but am weakened by the failed attempt I'll hopefully have enough strength to empty the buckets and start over as opposed to lugging a large, heavy basin outside.


Questions:
=======
⬤ Will using 4 chimney starters worth of charcoal be enough, or will it be too much and have adverse effects (if that's even possible)?

⬤ I've read that some people use a pan of water as a heat catcher. Can someone elaborate?

⬤ I'm not an outdoorsman. Are cabins as air-tight/insulated as say a house, as in is cabin at least insulated enough to not let CO seep through the walls?

⬤ If someone could reference me which malawi tent I should buy I'd greatly appreciate it. I saw malawi mentioned but don't know which one I should get. I live in the U.S., so if you know of any other tent brands I'd appreciate the info for it.

⬤ I've read that it's better to get in with the charcoals instead of letting CO build up, and to avoid sleeping right away so I can take in as many breaths as I can. Also I read to avoid drinking alcohol or take sleeping pills. Thoughts on this?

⬤ Just curious; ideas/plans on how I can CTB via car without getting caught. I live in an apartment complex so no privacy.

⬤ How can I buy SN? If charcoal burning doesn't work, I want to have SN as back up. I live in the U.S.

⬤ Silly question, but would covering myself with bags of ice help cool me down when I get in the charcoal room lol?

⬤ [Edit] If I cant obtain SN, how lethal is mixing cleaning detergents and which detergents mixed together is most lethal?


Thanks for reading this.

• I'm not an expert in such charcoal actions
• I'd guess that a pan of water would just slowly evaporate (and create humidity), maybe bricks can delay the heat transfer?
• ice bags may help with cooling (tho one can possibly have a mix of hot and cold with it, unless one maybe uses ice packs and moves them around?)
• detergent CTB is like rolling a dice, with the dice now weighted towards mere noxious fumes

if you're gonna do it in a hotel, which you should never do, but if your mind can't be changed, then at least it's good that you put tape on the vents.
make sure it's properly fucking sealed tho, double sealed, tripple sealed, please.
i don't know much about when the charcoal gives off the most gas... i've heard different things.
i think i heard that when the charcoal is white is when it gives off the most CO, but i'm not sure

dont worry. i mentioned i'm doing it in a rental cabin somewhere private. i even have a warning sign ready to hang on the front door.

yeah i did some more reading on detergent CTB and the risks of failure are too high. im gonna scrap that idea
