Best economical steam still

Yttrium2 - 6-7-2022 at 11:34

What's the best economical steam still, I haven't tried any out and figured it'd save me a bunch of money to ask here, as some of you may
Have reviewed them. Looking for something that can generate enough steam to steam distill about 2-4 litres of lavender. (Or even a bigger still if it can also distill small quantities of lavender without the mechanical losses)

If someone here has reviewed them, they would have posted. Try using the search engine, instead of eating bandwidth asking minimalist questions. It's starting to get annoying.

Come on, do you want to ask about steam distillation setups for years on end?
Just buy one, or don't, but come on.
This is leading nowhere.

why not make your own..
take a pot, drill holes in side, buy a hotplate, take that thing apart, stick the heating elements in the pot, weld/solder it shut, find fitting pot, put ontop, weld clamphinges (whatever thats called) on both pots, put silicone rubber in between the 2 pots, weld distillation pipe on upper pot. done.. 1500w?
