We describe plans for a search for long-lived particles which will become stopped by the CMS detector. We will look for the subsequent decay of these particles during time intervals where there are no $pp$ collisions in CMS: during gaps between crossings in the LHC beam structure, and during inter-fill periods between the beam being dumped and re-injection. Such long living particles decays will be recorded with dedicated calorimeter triggers. For models predicting these particles, such as split-susy gluinos, the large cross-section combined with good stopping power of CMS, yields a significant number of triggerable decays. If LHC instantaneous luminosity approaches 10^32 cm^-2 s^-1 in 2009-10, 5-sigma significance can be established in a matter of days, since these decays occur on top of a negligible background. Due to limited size, this paper concentrates on main idea and expected results. More details are available in https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMS/PhysicsResults.
