How to Create Carbon Monoxide Gas?

Before you even suggest it - I am not suicidal, and this is also not an underhand way of disguising a suicidal frame of mind to achieve information. I am researching mental health for EPQ (a research project you can do in the British school system). If you feel uncomfortable posting this publicly please let me know and you can send it to me privately.

I understand the chemical methods - through zinc metal and calcium carbonate or formic acid and concentrated sulfuric acid, but what about 'home' methods such incomplete combustion and charcoal?
