Decarboxylation on a pellet grill

[DeadlyFruit]

I agree with grouchy on all points.

I read an article from someone who decarbs his finished RSO/tincture rather than his bud so that there is less terpene degradation and no toasted flavour. He does it in a sealed jar in a secure lab oven (if I remember correctly) in case the jar ever ruptures and the ethanol flashes. While I am not sure I will ever try it I don’t think it would be any more dangerous than usual if done outside away from anything that could catch fire (including yourself). Maybe on an electric hot plate under a closed grill lid. I know there is a lot of fear about fires with ethanol (probably for good reasons in many cases) but given my family lights up warmed brandy multiple times a year on different foods and drinks (eg Xmas pudding) I am not as afraid of it as I probably should be 🙂 (do at your own risk - I officially advise not to even if I don’t feel overly nervous about it myself).

Decarbing the oil when the ethanol has been removed is one way to do it. Putting ethanol laden tincture in a sealed jar and heating it is nothing short of making a bomb. One of the primary rules of lab safety is never heat a closed system.

Probably for the best

OldManGrower Did you do it? How did it turn out? The issue I see is if you get it to hot you would loose THC being open.

Not yet. Most likely this weekend.

My wife brought up a novel idea. Normally I would use my toaster oven out on the deck to decarb my weed prior to making edibles. Her idea was to put it on our this pellet grill where I can regulate the temperature and more or less have "smoked" weed. Has anyone out there ever tried this? Any comments positive or negative would be welcome.

It seems to be a cool idea! So it's been a long time since your post, and I'm really interested in the result!

Worked Great! Put the weed into a ball jar, seal tightly and bake.
