Would a fondue pot work?

Nope.

 

Could you be baking something else in the kitchen, at the same time, as a cover/excuse for working in there?


The good news is that the best canna oils are odor-free, and are very easy to make in your kitchen with no one the wiser.



And if you have to stop suddenly, it's not ruined!


It doesn't require refrigeration, and you can set it aside for weeks, and (if still needed by then) continue the process any time, at your leisure.

But to answer your question, if you still decide the only option you're comfortable with is to bring the fondu pot outside, just be sure you use a double boiler to prevent your temps from climbing too high...


That is: two pots, one larger containing a few inches of water, and one smaller pot that floats inside; the smaller pot contains just your herb and oil (or clarified butter). The fondu burner or flame heats the water in the pot, which won't exceed 212 F or so degrees, and the water then heats the smaller pot containing, preventing damage to your herb and oil (both of which can burn and be destroyed upon extended contact with too much heat, potentially even from a tiny flame).



You can even decarb (activate your potency!) in a double boiler, just like you would in the oven!


Just use the photo tutorial for canna oil I gave you, but using your fondu double-boiler instead of the oven. As always, just use foil or an oven bag to cover the container holding your herb, during all heated stages.
Follow the recipe as described for a cerebral/heady 'high', or add an additional hour and a half, to two hours for a more narcotic, couch-lock 'stone'.



Good luck, and have fun!

 

A fondue pot should work as well as a crockpot or the stove. In fact, it is a form of crockpot. Before you use it though, put a little water in it to see just how hot it gets. You don't want something over a couple of hundred degrees. Use a thermometer to check. If it's over that temp, you can always put a bowl over it and use it as a double boiler setup.

 

It's definitely a good idea to be sure that your temps are under control. Just a heads up, though!



Remember that (under a normal altitude and pressure), water only reaches roughly 212 before boiling, and the temperature won't pass that point even with a powerful flame or an intense heating element.


But with something like oil, it will continue to climb until it reaches the smoking and boiling points of the oil, destroying the oil and rendering it toxic in the process, and at the same time far surpassing the vaporization points of cannabinoids. Different oils and liquids, reach different peak temperatures before hitting their boiling points.




Many fondu pots are just single-wall cooking pots, suspended over a heating element or a flame, and they expect you to extinguish fairly quickly (before damaging the fondu) and begin serving, to only relight later on if needed.
Most fondu recipes are chocolate, cheese and oil based, and unlike water, when allowing them to over heat, or when leaving the system on without a built-in double boiler in place, it will burn and ruin the texture and consistency of the fondu.



This is why putting water in a pot over a heat source, then using a thermometer to check its temperature, is not an accurate means of determining the 'maximum temperature' that the heating element or cooking system can reach! Even if the water only reaches 212 F during your test, it doesn't mean an oil will stop there, so you can't assume that you won't need a double boiler!




And even better, if it's a decent model and already made with a true double boiler system, then there's nothing much to test temperature-wise, because it should be at least as good if not better than the one you'd fashion yourself, out of several pots



Hope this helps clear things up!
