I use to use the oven for whole meat jerky. Ruined an element? in it because of the jerky so I bought a dehydrator. I now do deer burger jerky about 99% of the time. Takes 7 hours to do a 6 tray batch. Heres my basic recipe. 1 1/2lbs lean deerburger, 1 pkt salt and cure american harvester brand( for 1 lb by their figuring). 1 c garlic powder, 1 cup warm water. Sometimes I'll add 1 tsp of table salt. If someone's wanting a hotter jerky you can add diced jalapeno's, plain hot sauce or your favorite heat.

I haven't made it myself but I had friends back in NY that made it using a dehydrator and also the oven. When I moved to OR, and got with my other half, I learned how to make it using an outdoor smoker. He does EVERYTHING (well i guess kind of?) himself. He put together a wire rack framed with scrap wood and scrap wire (chicken wire and screens I believe), sliced up pieces of deer and elk, that he killed, and layed them on the rack seasoned the strips with salt and lots of pepper (mmm), put the rack on 4 wood stumps over a smoldering fire of willow and put canvas covering the whole thing to keep the smoke in. He has to watch it constantly so it doesnt produce flames and just keeps smoking for hours and hours and then when it's done...I get to enjoy!  I've never had it like this before but I sure LOVE it...I brought some back to NY with me when I went in late March and my family was a little hesistant about trying it but they loved it! I was proud! haha even though I really didnt have much of a hand in the process other than keeping company!  He also does the same thing with rainbow trout!

This may come a little late but Freevenisonrecipes.com has some great jerky recipes and I often do mine in the oven. Get some cheap drying racks and pans from Dollar Tree and keep the oven on 200 for about 2 hrs  turning once depending on thickness. It never lasts long enough to test how long it will keep
