I think convection would work better. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfI0NKl-Kq0&feature=player_embedded" rel="nofollow">Alton Brown</a> made beef jerky with just a box fan and some air conditioning filters. So the heat heat is important, but the air circulation is more important. I'd put the sliced beef on the lowest rack and leave the oven door cracked. We cook our jerky at 155°, but most ovens won't go that low. That's why you leave the oven door cracked. I'd guess it'll take about three hours to fully dehydrate, but it's something you feel rather than see. You'll know when it's done by how dark and pliable it is. Hey Greg, it’s good to hear from you.

I have a convection over (but I can turn on Top Heat only also). Which is better? Also, what are approximate cooking times for both convection and conventional top heat. Thanks! Hope all is well.
