Making BHO is relatively safe as long as you take proper precautions. NO FLAME AT ALL!!!!!! What i do is place a pyrex dish on top of a smaller pan filled with a little bit of water. I Heat the water to a rolling boil then turn the flame off(i do this outside on a gas burner, far far away from any butane or solvents.) Set up a fan to get good air movement and do your thing.....dropping the OIL/butane on the heated pyrex dish to speed up evaporation of the butane gas( the fan also helps with this). This eliminates explosive hazards, the pyrex is heated by steam.
