==Equipment==

* '''Ground [[~~marijuana~~]]''' - You can make batches with as little material as you like although its recommended that at least a half ounce is used. The yield is highly strain dependent but typically around 15% by weight.

* '''Ground [[cannabis]]''' - You can make batches with as little material as you like although its recommended that at least a half ounce is used. The yield is highly strain dependent but typically around 15% by weight.

* '''Filtered butane''' The more times filtered, the better, but at a certain point filtering something more times isn't going to make much difference so don't pay extra for it! There's also n-butane and other blended gas solvents. These are typically much more expensive.

* '''Extraction tube''' Thick glass is recommended although plastic and other types will work.

* '''vacuum chamber and pump'''

* '''vacuum chamber and pump''' Single stage pump is fine. Be wary of shorter chambers as the oil might bubble high enough to touch the lid.

* '''coffee filter and rubber band or hose clamp'''

* '''Pyrex or glass baking dish'''

* '''Pyrex or glass baking dish''' should have a large surface area

* '''protective gloves and mask'''

* '''protective gloves and mask''' To protect against the frozen tube and butane vapors

* '''lower temp electric heatsource''' induction cooktops are ideal, a hair drier or craft heat gun are also recommended

* '''parchment paper or slick mat'''
