Hi Altainta and Fanny...

I'm not clear what you are asking in #1 above. I don't know the settings on the equipment.
The alcohol boils at about 170 deg F. Anything slightly above that temp will boil it off pretty fast, but the wash (alcohol) temp will not go much above 170 deg F until most of the alcohol is gone, then the temp climbs to the target 245 deg F as it decarbs and settles down to a peaceful, serene black liquid. Always use a fan. Always outside.
The oil (CCO...what we are making) should NOT go above 250 deg F. Above 290 deg F it'll start smoking and produce much thicker oil. Not good .. don't let the oil go above 250 deg f while boiling off the last of the alcohol and decarbing. You are done when all movement stops at 245-250 deg F.

Did I help?
