Anybody out there doing essential oil production?If so, is there an inexpensive process to accomplish this?Decent distillation units over the internet appear to start at $400.00 (www.heartmagic.com). Any suggestions?

A 12 quart preasure cooker a 50 ft roll of 1.4 ince soft copper tubeing and a sink full of cold water. un screw the jiggler fiting from the top of the cooker like and replaceit it with a 1/8" npt x 1/4" comprsion fitting attacht the coil of copper tubing to this and set the coil in the sink of cold water and let the other end of the tubeing drip into a contianer to catch the alcochol as you cook it out of the tincured herbs( oh yeah you need to tincture your herbs in grain alcohol first and then strain the solids out of your tincture ) This set up will set you back under a hundred bucks and doesnt hur the cooker for canning just replace the jiggler head when yo want to use it for canning
