Homemade beef jerky??

A long time ago before i had a smoker I used to make jerky in my oven in the house.

You can use your favorite marinade for this, but make sure you include some liquid smoke as well. This will give your jerky a smoky flavor.

I'd set the stove at 225. Put aluminum foil in the bottom of your stove first. Very important or you will have a big mess. Next get some tooth picks. Take your strips of meat and put a toothpick through the top of the meat. Put it on the rack so its hanging down and the toothpick will keep it from falling through the rack. Next close the door, but leave it open 1-2 inches to allow moisture to escape.

Is this the preferred method for jerky, prolly not. However, lacking a smoker the oven worked great. I used to make deer jerky all the time and bring it to work. People loved it.
