I make mine in the oven. Go with 235 degrees for 1 hour and 40 minutes. Open the oven and turn the heat off and let it sit for maybe 10 minutes. I LOVE my jerky this way its not very very very chewy. I made some this way right before thanksgiving I used the Hi-Mountain seasoning (you used to could find this stuff at wal-mart but I had to order it off of Bass Pro). Just make sure you cure it at least 24 hours before you cook it, but it sounds like you've done it before so you know how you like to marinade....sometimes after the hour and 40 minutes I let it cool outside of the oven, seemed to be just a tad harder jerky this way, but its really not hard (as in the toughness) cooking it this way.

If you want to use your oven, keep it at its lowest setting around 150* with the door open.. You really do not want to have it any higher than 185*... You will be cooking the meat not dehydrating it..

If you are not using a premix, you should be adding some kinda cure to your marinade ... That way you don't have a issue with botulism...Like Prague Powder or Tender Quick..

I marinated it over night.Turned the oven on at 150 and then threaded the meat on some BBQ skewers and hung from top rack with a drip pan underneath.I closed the door and propped it open with about a 2" crack left for the moisture to come out.Left it in there drying for four hours and then took out and placed on counter to cool off and then ate.May start makeing it in the oven all the time instead of the dehydrator,it just takes long time to fix but the rewards are worth it as long as I dont use the teryoky any more.I will try to post pics later when my wife gets hom to do it for me.
