====The "Well-Ventilated Area"====

A "well-ventilated area" is commonly used to describe the area that is ideal for butane extraction. Contrary to popular belief, however, a "well-ventilated area" is not simply a room with all the windows open, it is not a kitchen stove top fan turned on, it is not a garage with the door open to let some air in - these areas do have ventilation, but the movement of air is unpredictable and may lead to explosions if butane does build up in the room. To be well-ventilated, an area must have a constant and steady supply of fresh air flowing through the area. ~~'''~~<span style="color:red">~~Additionally,~~ performing a B.H.O. extract in a "well-ventilated area" does not eliminate the flammability and explosion hazard associated with the process, it only lowers this risk.~~</span>~~ It is ''always'' safer to do outdoors (~~providing you~~ take the proper precautions, however, such as acquiring a fire extinguisher and related safety materials in advance).'''
