In all posts about my deviant method in this thread, I very clearly noted that I decarb'd.
Didn't rec. anything. Just described, per request.

Probably not vape. But can take it orally. Be careful w/ dosage.

*Thanks for sharing your process, that took some time to write out. Appreciate that. I'm always searching for new easier ways, but to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed to say, that I can't operate the oven and stove alone. I could write out the list why, but I have early onset Alzheimer's and that pretty well revoked handling oil near the stove and oven. So the machine process is still the safest for me and very much needed for those who are in my predicament to say lightly.
*Also, now you are recommending decarb because you didn't do it originally when you posted. That is a whole other process for someone like me to deal with. So your original post wasn't entirely accurate, but I feel like you still have really good intentions of trying to save us work.
*On the other side, your recipe would work for a Caregiver that has the time and energy (most don't) to monitor the oven and temperature. It's another way to accomplish the same goal, but I don't think it takes any less work or cleanup. In fact that cast iron pan is not easy to lift for me, especially for someone with flared arthritis. Not sure someone in a wheelchair could handle this process. I know anyone with a neuro degen disease would have major alignment issues with lifting a heavy pan out of the oven. Just a little observation.
*The good news about your method, I know of a blind grower here who I am working with whom started doing his oil in the oven in muffin tin trays. Equal amount in each molding. 200F, taking 3 spoons of oil to lightly drench his 1 teaspoon of bud. So you may want to switch to something that is lighter, compartmentalized and measurable. Making free for all oil can really hurt someone if they aren't wise to your jive. hahaha
*Also you mentioned that your oil packs a punch, then in brackets you write you have to decrease your dose. That is a jump off the cliff in the eyes of a brain patient...fyi.
*Come to think of it, if you didn't decarb your first batch, how could that have packed a punch if you didn't convert your THCA to THC through this essential transition? Hmmm,
*I can tell you right now that your process has way more mess than with the machine. You have to take into account when others share their methods it's because we have to adapt to our disabilities by sometimes requiring the help from machines to prevent disasters. That's why there are water baths, machines, decarb boxes because they are helping people like me.
*You have your decarb tray, cast iron pan, thermometer, storable oil containers?, no lecithin?, no measurables?, no scale?, just a free for all. In another world where everyone had a clear mind and healthy body, yes this is EZ, no problem. What would be fun is if you try to do your methods while blind, or in a wheelchair, with a broken arm or with a deteriorating brain etc. No honestly, like if you were to put on a motorcyclist helmet and walk around the entire day and night, cooking and showering with it on. That is pretty close to how my brain feels. Sounds funny and cool to me. Just trying to make you smile.
*Many people need this oil to save our lives, not to save the party. And I think your method while useful, is not recommended for anyone who has a physical and mental health challenges. In fact, it's not user friendly to those who truly need it the most. So much more to be considered like responsible ratios, the clean up, distributing oil into capsules or droppers, or dosing from the dish in the fridge? makes the oil expire faster because it's perishable. If you were to take pics of your step by step process I think you would be surprised at how much you have to consider.
*I just think we need to be really careful when posting "easy" recipes without careful considerations because it's desperate people like me who misunderstand things, could be hurt the most. That's all, think about your audience and those whom need the recipe the most.
*Thank you for allowing me to chime in. I just don't want Brainiacs to get hurt by other peoples' impression of what easy is. And I am one of those people who needs to be told what to do step for step, measurement for measurement to make sure I don't hurt myself during this process. What a great discussion this was. Thank you for letting me learn from you guys...with great intentions...
Thank you so much for this post! I am physically disabled and cannot stand long enough to keep checking temps. And because of the arthritis, I long ago gave up trying to lift anything like cast iron.
The simpler, the better for me, and the muffin tin method makes a whole lot of sense to regulate the dosage, whether making oil, brownies, or single serving portions of main meals containing cannabis as an herb.
Those of us who have challenges MUST adapt the methods to our circumstances and SHARE those adaptations with others with challenges, too.

I smell a future thread somewhere devoted to adaptations for those with physical limitations.

Thank you! ..
I can't stop my brain from saying .
...And we will be the ones to jump in and say absolutely NO to using an edible oil for vape because we do our research first, before making it. But don't take my half a brain for it. Just hemorrhage in silence. No biggie.
I smell a future thread somewhere devoted to adaptations for those with physical limitations.
That sounds promising and optimistic....

I'm so excited, I had to come here and jump up and down. 
My brother-in-law just handed me his debit card and told me to get an Instant Pot!!!
My next batch of oil will be made in the pressure cooker, and then I'll have a much better idea of how to break the process down for G2HM.

Sue...note that Dave G bought the "luxe" version which (seemingly) restricted his manual override of the pressure temp. Not sure if you care, but my wife liked the flexibility of doing that. We have the 7-in-1.
But YAY for your brother in law!

Blew, a question, if I may? I bought the 6 quart size, primarily because that's the one they had on display. I tend to make small batches of oil, often with just a cup of carrier oil, and I was thinking I might be better to get the 3 quart size.
I was wondering what your thoughts were on this. Anyone else who has a thought, please chime in.
If it is a dedicated machine for oil, and you only do batches under 6 cups (oil. material, water...everything) then a 3-quart should work great as well. From looking at the unit on Amazon ($59.99) it has the same low-pressure option and looks the same as our 7-in-1 6-quart model. Maybe the smaller size will earn it full time counter space!

nope not going to do it, I've heard it is a mess.
Only dry for my MBM, I'm ready to try running my oil a second time through it to see if I can strengthen my meds.

I have a CBD Critical Mass coming down this afternoon. I will make a small batch of FHO in my Instapot and let you know how it turns out. 
Hey Dave. I have a quick question. I'm trying your method today with my fresh harvest. I'm wondering if you would tweak anything? Thanks in advance. The information in this thread is outstanding FYI! As a newb I am just a tad overwhelmed so I hope it's ok to ask here! .

I am currently running some FHO in a Instant Pot. I am using 125g fresh CBD Critical Mass popcorn bud. It is super sticky and trich coated!! I mixed 3c olive oil and 1c water with bud in food processor. Put in insta pot and set for 110 minutes. I will let it cook, cool, strain and then cool to separate. I will add the lecithin after separation.
As for would I change anything, I am adding lecithin after separating due to the extra water that I am cooking with.
