First time I made jerky was in the wife' s oven LOL and that was the last time I used it.

I hung the strips over the racks in the oven and made ONE HECK of a mess trying to clean it off ( we actually threw the oven out) I was told that was the last ime I was to do that[:' (], I went out and purchased a Dehydrator right away! [:@][:' (] (after I renewed the wife' s oven)
