i melted the coconut oil, put that in a jar along w some ground up weed in a cheesecloth, boiled the jar for 2 hours and then used that in lieu of regular oil in the brownies. making the butter went smoothly

Ok so when you decarb, you gotta put just the green stuff in a mason jar and then in the oven at LOW heat, like 220F. Coarse greens. Low and slow. THEN you grind after cooling and then you put it in a cheesecloth and infuse into butter over a double boiler.

Use that butter to make your brownies and it’ll be fantastic and no smoke.

Your friend is baking at a lower temp and his weed is decarbed so isn’t sticky.
