Iâ??m really glad I tried this. Smoking and I donâ??t get along so I am very glad to have this option. Thank you Flameon and the contributors for the directions and information on this subject. Iâ??ve learned a great deal by coming here. My first attempt at making this stuff was okay. The crock pot I used is very old (an original!) so I tested it first--every 10-12 minutes with an instant read thermo over a period of about two hours. The low setting of the pot runs too cool for this job. A heavy shot glass with a tablespoon of ghee was used as the vehicle. From a cold start, it took two hours to reach 257 deg F and then it hovered close to 258 for the next twenty minutes. Joy! Good to go. I donâ??t have a scale and it makes sense I should get one, but for this job I estimated the amount of bud to use based on one eighth of an ounce being about 3.5 grams. I oven-dried the bud for 15 minutes at 250 deg F, ground it fine with an electric coffee grinder and fed it to the hot oil in the pot for two hours. Then I let it cool in the pot for about a half hour with the lid off. While liquid, the resulting oil had what I would call a medium olive color. Later, I tried some of the results. It took a little over two hours before I felt it. I think this method is going to be great for me. Looking back, I just didnâ??t use enough bud to get the results I was hoping for, but it was good. Next time will be better. Thanks to all of you.
