You are welcome!
Here is a interesting article on decarbing

Debunking Myths On Decarboxylation Weed | Ardent Cannabis
I would not take this at Face value since there is alot of articles out there debunking other processes & equipment just to sell their own product .
If there is a retail component or service you can be certain financial motivation is behind the infotainment

Thanks for in information Learned a bunch of new stuff - and to me ther Advent sems like a better machine than the Magic Butter - IF I purchase anthing it's goping to be the Advent !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again !!!!
This article is complete and utter bullshit. They’re trying to make it seem complicated to sell you their product.
Why i said don’t take it a face value . I stopped paying much attention to decarb times awhile back . Such a fine line to get it exact where the cannabinoids are at their peak %. There was articles out a few yrs back about how THC & CBD differ when it comes to decarb times . CBD supposedly decarbs at a lower temps then THC. Overall do your own research to see what works best . I been processing oil for nearly 8 yrs using TLO all Naturall cannabis , i made over 5 pounds of oil since then and have came up with a system that works for me and the ppl i treat . Each for their own , always take things with a grain of salt until you see the results yourself . The world is getting increasingly Greedy with less compassion, beware of the snake oil salesmen since there is plenty.✌

maybe thats the way to go (see many expensive machines) willing to share your method ? Peace Thanks

I don't doubt the research but that seems like a long time to cook.....my stuff is pretty dark after 30 min at 230 - 240f ...110c = 230f.......I'd be afraid of burning it cooking that long...I've burned weed cooking in the past and it made it taste like crap.
I wonder if the volume and size of the cooked buds makes a difference.
I'm all ears, I'm real new to cooking with pot and its for my wife but I'd like to get all the benefits out of the pot I cook
There is a lot of bad info on the times and temps but its all over the board so I grabbed a medium #, 230 - 240 f and a median time, 30 min because there were extremes temps I didn't like....
It looks like I got the temp right but the time wrong,,,,I'll up my time a bit and cool my temps 10* and see if that is any better.
instant pot for infusions work as well or better than the magic butter machine. less than 60 bucks on sale.
i went from rice cookers and crock pots to this. i had a magic butter machine that burnt up in less than a yr.
you can infuse all kinds of oils and butter mixes. no need to pre-decarb. i even infuse vg with fantastic results.

Disclaimer: This method is what works for me personally, i am in no way saying this method is the best method out there , it is just what works the best for me over the years of trying different methods.
I first start with putting my cannabis in to a food dehydrater for roughly a hr . I remove and put into several 1.9 litre Mason jars . Along with the cannabis i will put my 200 proof alcohol into the freezer ( My freezer had a malfunction and will now freeze 40% vodka solid, lol). Now i tried different soak times over the years , i done qwet method where you just pour the alcohol over the cannabis and make 3 runs , issue with this is after the first run each additional run will lose quality. My personal preference is a 4 hr soak into my ultra cold deep freeze, I have ran soak times from 10 mins to 12 hrs to experiment with and this is the method i use now . Once i strain the material through a paint strainer mesh (which i highly recommend ) i will place back into the freezer( discard the cannabis) for a additional 3-4 hrs just so the sediments will settle, this makes for a quicker filtering time . I will set up 6-8 jars with coffee filters and filter as quick as possible so the filters will catch the plant waxes & chlorophyll that coagulate due to the freezing temperatures, if the mixture reaches room temperature the waxes & chlorophyll will dissolve back through the filters back into the mixture . I repeat this process 3-4 times , i then put into my green oil machine and evaporate the alcohol off at 100C . I put my CCO into a 1cup stainless , i put that into a frying pan with cooking oil to give it a double boiler method to evaporate any remainder of Alcohol off . I use a induction stove top since it is easier to regulate temps , i run it at 195F for roughly 20-30 mins , remove and syringe using 1,3 & 10 ml syringes . I am sure there is the “ Perfect World” method but have not stumbled a ross that yet, lol. This is what works best for me as of now .

I just bake my shit at 240 for 110 minutes, then add it to a stock pot with the oil and some water and simmer for a couple hours then strain. I use coconut oil so it’s solid at refrigerator temps and you can just pull the puck of oil off the water. For me that’s the simplest route from A to B, also scaleable to doing lbs of trim at a time

I don't want to knock your method as I've not done it that way as I mentioned above I took averages of times various people were using to decarb their weed but you are at the upper end of time...I'll try a small batch at 110 min but that scares me....I only cook 30 min and it looks pretty well cooked to me, I'll have to drop the temp a bit though...I don't have the nerve to cook that long at 240*
There is a small temperature window between the proper temperature to decarboxylate cannabis THCa into active THC and scorching plant mater. Unless you are using a candy making thermometer to verify the actual temperature any consumer grade equipment is not made within accuracy range to heat only at 230 Fahrenheit and is not at the correct temperature.

after reading that's whatI'm going to do next time _ about burning just make sure you stir it and not to let it boil as for volume : more matter = more water just remember NEVER go above 300 deg. because it will destroy your potency, ect

I'm not talking burning while its in the oil, the double boiler prevents that. It's when it's in the over for 110min @ 240f decarbing ...I only cooked it for 30 min....x2 = 60 x 2 = 120min 4 times longer than I've been decarbing for just seems rude. I don't know if I have the nerve to go that long......I'd expect to see black charred soot with an already smoked look to it lol ........I know not I'm just speculating, I will find out though when I have enough underbrush to cook. It'll be a while I'm at least 7 weeks away from a harvest.
What is the equipment which you are using to measure and verify the correct temperature.

I have a laser temp gun but my stove fluctuates 10 - 15f ...I set at 230 but it goes up to 240 and it'll drop to 225....I'll try it at 225f and see if that'll help.
