Looking for a reliable, inexpensive decarboxylator

I tried decarbing in my oven, but it won't heat reliably to anything under about 300 deg, and even if it would, I'm concerned about cycling and its effect on the process. I'd like to find a machine that will just decarb (not trying to make butter), and can be depended on to maintain the correct temperature.

The reviews of the Levo II look good, and it has separate dry functions and decarb functions in addition to infusion. But it costs $250, and it's out of stock for about a month.

Any suggestions?

I’ve been using an InstaPot . 1 oz in mason jars , water 1/3-1/2 way up the jars. Set at high pressure for 40min- done ... then you can add butter if you want- 40 more min and done
**water outside the jars ... lids loosely tightened

Great idea, thanks? What size Instant Pot would I need for a standard size Mason jar?

Yeah I was looking at that one in case I couldn't find anything cheaper. I googled for coupons, and found one that supposedly gives 30% off, which would be $78.

I also found the STX Activation420 Decarboxilator. It's not too expensive at $130, and I like the fact that you can manually set the temp and time. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any independent reviews of it, other than those on Amazon and eBay (and a lot of the ones on eBay were for a different product).

I'm still leaning toward the Instant Pot though. It's $30 cheaper, and I could also use it for cooking stuff (not that I do a lot of cooking).

Basically the same as the instapot . Mine has damn buttons everywhere, I know you can adjust pressure either to high or low and adjust the steam. So my guess that’s their temp control

And I use this thing to cook whatever , veggies, rice, artichokes, even meat (stews) it’s used either way and stays clean when decarbing
