Making CannaOil Using Coconut Oil?

Hey guys,

So I'm trying to gather as much information regarding edibles before I make these brownies in a week's time (using 4.5g of dank bud). First, I'm going to use coconut oil for making brownies since the saturated fat content makes this the superior oil for THC extraction/infusion. If the brownie recipe calls for 2/3rds cup of vegetable oil, is it okay to use solely coconut oil for the full 2/3rds cup? I ask because I don't know how the texture of coconut oil will be (even in its liquid form). There are brownie recipes that call for 1/3rd cup, should I search for one of those instead?

Next, do I need to freeze the coconut oil after the infusion process? Apparently this helps with bioavailability, though I'm still searching to confirm. I believe BadKittySmiles recommends this, but I can't find it yet

And finally is cooking with coconut oil at 190 degrees (stove-top using a double broiler) ok? Coconut oil burns at a lower temp so just making sure. I messaged BKS asking her all of this, but I'm sure she's a busy person so Im asking here just in case

Thanks in advance

 

I'm not trying to invent my own formula, I'm trying to follow other's to a T. I believe I have all the information I need now -

I'm going to decarb my bud in a glass Pyrex dish, with tinfoil covering, at 215 degrees for 23-25 minutes and turn the oven off, leaving in the dish for another 10 minutes before removing. I will keep the tin foil on after removing the dish for another 15-20 minutes. Then, I will use a double broiler and start heating up coconut oil (2/3rds cup as recipe calls for) to a liquid state, then I will throw in the decarbed bud and put tin foil over the double broiler and poke a meat thermometer through to keep the temperature at 190 degrees for 2 hours, while I stir every 20 minutes.

I will then strain the oil through cheesecloth, then put it in a glass dish before I put it in the freezer for 3 hours.. Take it out, thaw to room temp, put it in the oven at 175 degrees for 10 minutes or however long to get the coconut oil back to liquid state.. Finally put it in the brownie mix and cook away

Do you see any holes? Is covering the double broiler with tin foil during the infusion process necessary?

Edit: looks like I should freeze the oil for 3 hours before I do the straining process

 

I can't ever find where BKS talks about making canna oil so I was going off this recipe which seems sound: http://www.420magazine.com/forums/cannabis-edibles/162134-xlr8-s-magic-brownies-step-step-pictures.html

How long does BKS suggest to cook at 220 for? And is she talking about in the oven or on a double broiler? I'm not trying to ask you to do my homework, but everytime somebody links me to the page of her thread that apparently talks about CannaOil all I see is a guide for things like gummy bears and I scroll down the entire page but can't find her guide to making CannaOil. I've done several hours of research so I'm not trying to cut any corners. Thank you for your help btw


Edit: my fault, the problem is Im on mobile so it automatically takes me to the last page of whatever thread I visited.. So I was several pages too far into her guide lol. Figured it out now, Oops

 

Do I need to keep tin foil on my glass Pyrex dish while I do the freezing process? BKS doesn't mention whether to keep it on or not, and I'm watching her youtube videos and it skips from coming out the oven (with tin foil on) to coming out the freezer (no tin foil on)

 

Thanks man yeah mobile is rough lol. On page 17 BKS recommends freezing after you finish cooking though, she says do the initial 45 minutes, let it cool down, then mash up the bud pieces with back of a spoon, then put in for 45 more minutes, and then she says to freeze. After freezing she says just warm up the oil to liquid state for better straining

You're saying it's better to freeze in between the two 45 minute cooking's?
