Agree cheesecloth holds better but if you don't have a coffee filter works. I have found there is not a lot of material left if u grind with coffee grinder it seems to cook away. I also have used on top of stove simmer for 1hr or 2 works also.

I always use the biggest pot I can find, and add one pound butter to a quarter pound bud.

Simmer on stove top for 8 hours, the longer the better. Top off with water as necessary.

The boiling point of water is 100°C or 212° F
The boiling point of THC is 199.1 °C or 390.4 °F

So in theory if the THC is submerged in water, and you keep it at a light simmer than you can never burn your THC?

Thanks everyone for your opinions. Loading up my crockpot now with the 1Lb/1oz/5cups of water recipe. I really enjoy reading your feedback and everyone's ideas.

PS - I read an old version of Skunk magazine where they were discussing this old joint recipe, rolled in honey oil, made out of fresh leaves. Anyone know where I can see this thing and/or get the "recipe"? I'd like to make one for my husband's birthday!

This thread is still where most people land when they search for cannabutter. We've written up a full cannabutter guide that covers both methods from this thread, the slow cooker and the double boiler, plus the jar method, how much bud to use per pound of butter, and how to work out the dose per tablespoon.
