What you want to do is heat it up high enough to decarboxylate but below the vaporization point of THC (150 degrees may be a good number, for maybe 15-20 minutes in the oven). Then simmer it in melted butter for as long as you feel necessary at around the same temperature.

EDIT: You can go higher than 150. Keep in mind that the vaporization points of the active cannabinoids in cannabis are mostly above 260 degrees, so keep it 30-50 degrees or so below that point.
It's not all that smelly. Definitely not as smelly as smoking it. The idea is to heat it up below the vaporization point so there shouldn't be [too] many stray odors.
Depends on the strength of the bud and the user's tolerance level. I've had very mixed results using low quality bud, so I'd recommend a lot. Maybe an ounce? Note that I have a pretty high tolerance.

>After decarboxylation, I plan on boiling some water, throwing some butter in there

Mixing butter with water? Doesn't seem conducive to the final goal. Just simmer it in pure melted butter. THC likes fat, a lot. You want to bind all the THC to the fat in the butter. Adding water to the mix seems like it will just muddy up the process. If you're worried about burning it, just make sure to keep the burner on a low setting, and keep an eye on the temperature with a thermometer. EDIT: Amazon link for a sweet laboratory thermometer. They usually range around 10-15 bucks.

Good luck fellow ent!
