Thanks, I'll head there after work today. As Per the Jerky, I usually do a blend of ground red pepper and black pepper rub just before dehydrating, this batch will be really mild since it's not for me .Try Akin's health foods. I just went by and bought some Rosemary essential oil and beeswax. I know for a fact they have Lavender oil, not sure about tea tree. I made my mom and sisters lip balm and body lotion for Christmas. I think I'll try to make herbal vapor rub for colds next, and then soap. I make my own jerky too. Maybe I'll try your marinade.
