Can you make jerky without a dehydrator? Unforetunately I don't have one yet, and definitely in interested in making some goose, duck, deer, and turkey jerky. Anybody have success making it in a regular oven? Thanks

I've made many batches of jerky in the oven. Like said above use the warm setting on the oven or if it doesn't have one set to 200*, on either setting you'll need to turn your furnace down because you need to prop the door open on the oven and it will make your kitchen nice and toasty. You can do it right on the bare oven racks if you want but it can get messy and you'll need a pan at the bottom to catch drippings from your marinade and the meat.
Obviously how long it takes depends on the size of you cuts but when I did mine in the oven it took about 2 1/2 hrs.

I have make jerky on top of a Ashley wood stove. To do so, i put the jerky strips on cookie sheets with aluminum foil underneath them to catch any drips. As long as the stove didn't get to hot it worked really good. The main problem was having some jerky left the next day, because with 8 kids going by and picking off pieces as they got done, the jerky disappeared quickly.
The 8 kids being me and my siblings(I'm the 3rd of 9 kids).

Jerky is easy to make because you just have to dry out the meat slowly. It can be made on a wire rack in the bottom of a tin foil lined cardboard box with a 7 1/2 watt lite bulb for heat. It can be made on a wire rack in a tin foil type pie plate on top of a lamp shade with a 15 watt bulb in the lamp. I personally make my jerky in my electric smoker.

I make mine on the smoker – low heat, slow, apple wood. I like the smoky flavor in jerky, and liquid smoke just isn’t as good as natural. I looked up that Alton Brown method though, and that looks just wacky enough that I might have to try it one of these days.
