[QUOTE="Knifemaker, post: 1383111, member: 1075"] I'd question how safe it is drying meat at 120 degrees, especially if you're adding more time that it's sitting out. That aside....my convection oven only goes down to 170F. But I've read if you leave the door cracked open some the temperature will stay a bit lower. Folks do make jerky in their home ovens...and some also make it in their smokers. My aunt made deer jerky in her oven and it was pretty damn good ;) But I didn't want to tie up my oven, nor spend money on cooking racks. The model I have also heats all the trays evenly, where even a convection oven will have hot spots (no matter what they tell you) That and the fact I can dehydrate fruits, herbs, vegetables, and even soups, makes having a stand alone dehydrator more versatile than ones oven. It has the option to hold more than my oven can. And it only takes up room when I'm using it, and sleeps on a shelf in the basement when I'm not. :) I know, sure you can make jerky in an oven. You can also throw away all your wrenches and just use visegrips ..... ;) [/QUOTE]
