I was thinking of trying to make them this way today because I don't want to deal with the amount of smell that would be generated by simmering them in oil.

I'm planning on using oil instead of butter, and heating the oil to a decent simmer, removing it from the heat, adding my green, letting it soak for awhile and then adding it to the mix. I know that everyone says that you won't get as much THC activated b/c of the lack of heat, but you are cooking them in an oven for almost an hour, so if they're already soaked in fat, that heat should allow the THC to be activated, correct?
