I used to work at Steelcase office furniture. Some guy spilled a bunch of solvent in the paint area! Thought he would vacuum it up with a wet vac! It ignited in a big fireball and killed him! He was probably in a hurry to get it, cleaned up before the boss found out!

yes, mine can run on 50C but I can go to like 35C in drier, that should be much more better option. Plus I could attach a tube and vent it outside of room too...

Just picked up 5 gallons of culinary solvent for $296 (US)

Culinary Solvent: Premium Food Grade Ethanol

Culinary Solvent is pure, food grade ethanol. 200 Proof, 190 Proof, USDA Certified Organic Alcohol designed for herbal tinctures, perfumers, chefs, bakers, artisans, crafters and more. Distilled by The Northern Maine Distilling Company.

culinarysolvent.com

Should last a few years
Probably get a lab still for reclaim on big projects but a lot of what I do is experimentation in small batches and not worth my time to recover
The liter bottles were getting north of $30 in some places
Bought the above on sale

Decarbed Thunder Struck and ethanol are in the freezer ready for extraction

Sounds like a good rainy day project! Going to have to give this a whirl with some old overstock!

Do you pour it out of the rice cooker when it is still pretty liquidy? Or do you let her thicken up some in there? Then scrape the rice cooker with some kind of silicone spatula or something to get it all into the mold? Then the mold onto a coffee warmer till it quits bubbling? Sorry for all the questions!

Reduction time
Toss in a couple of coconut oil cubes and some lecithin when the etoh evaporates and switch over to the gas stove for the oil emulsion
Add 100 grams of chocolate and pour into molds
Each chocolate is roughly 25-50 mg thc/cbd




Infusing the oil
I do 30-60 minute emulsion or when I remember to take it off the stove
My electric stovetop shuts off automatically but it seems to shut off when the ethanol has evaporated
Lucky timing
Its on the gas stove now as there is maybe trace amounts of ethanol left and not a danger
