BHO, short for butane hash oil, is a type of cannabis concentrate made by extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis flowers using butane, heat and pressure. Due to its colour and consistency, BHO is also called butane honey oil—after purging the butane, the oil becomes a yellow-gold colour similar to honey. 4, record 1, English, - butane%20hashish%20oil

One example of the butane stove is the Bleuet S-200. At above-freezing temperatures it has high heat output per unit weight and offers the advantage of quick starting. Butane has about 7% more energy that gasoline on a weight basis, 14% less on a volume basis. The stove does not have the continuous, even heat output of the gasoline or kerosene stove. When the tank is almost empty, output is about 30% of the initial amount. 1, record 10, English, - butane%20stove
