it doesn't have to gas or electric....you can use both....
after i make my sercret juice i use tooth picks like the picture and hang them all on the rack with foil to catch any drippings....then turn on the oven till it just comes on....it should be bout 130 degress and put a wooden spoon in the door to keep it open to keep the oven fireing....8 to 10 hours later it's done and i enjoy........................bob
