So far as I have been able to determine, once a definitive method was decided upon for gas chamber executions, Zyklon B was the agent of choice. The sole exception is Sobibor, where, (again, so far as I can determine) the carbon monoxide method was used until the camp was shut down, most likely because all the equipment was already in place, and there was no sense in implementing an expensive changeover.
