Hi everyone!

I got one of these butter-infusion makers that have a deposit where you can place your weed for creating an infusion.
Unfortunately, the instructions are nowhere to be found.
But I got the basic gist of it.

My question is, should I decarb the weed first before putting in the machine herb-deposit?

Will the heat created by the infusion machine be enough to decarb the weed?

Or should I do it before?

Thanks.

YES.
Decarb at 240f for 45 minutes or so.
You should not be cooking the butter much over 200f as I understand.

Thanks!
Next question: I have two ovens. A larger gas oven where bigger cookings are prepared; and a smaller electric grill oven.

I'm guessing I should use the bigger one?
The smaller electric oven does have grills closer to the food, and I'm afraid it will cook the weed in no time...

You should first test your ovens with a thermometer, then decarb once you have a good oven that keeps the temperature consistent.

I would use which ever one is more accurate.

The smell​

Decarboxylation can be unbelievably smelly, especially if the marijuana is uncovered on a baking tray in the oven just so you know.
Some use jars to contain aroma.
