A/B on San Pedro powder. Alternatives to the decoction and reduction stages?

I am planning on performing my third run of Kash's A/B tek. The first time went well, as did the second. However, the last time i did the long-ass 10-hour boiling and reduction stage, i straight-up broke the extractor fan-hood thing in my kitchen by passing 15L of water through it over a few hours. Are there any ways i can perform the tek without this step involved? Using powdered cactus and just skipping to the basification? maybe leave the mixture lying somewhere for a week or something? or maybe some boiling, but not an entire day of it. Maybe leave the powdered cactus in a room temp (or slightly warmer) solution of water and glacial for an extended period of time, allowing the alkaloids to seep out rather than boiling them out?

I really cannot go through all that boiling again. especially in the summer heat with no way to extract the steam.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
 
Been looking into it. It seems temptingly easier, but I'd prefer the end result to be HCL, because the doses are just less powder to choke down. Think I could dissolve the fumerate salt in water, basify it, pull with toluene and then do the acid pull with HCL after finishing the CIELO?
