Biltong in Dehydrator?

[bill ace 350]

Never made any, but was wondering if a dehydrator with the lowest temp of 95f would work?

Thanks

Not a clue. I read that biltong boxes use low heat.
Give it a try and see how it goes?

BA350, IMHO your meat would dry too fast. My store bought Biltong box has air vents and only a small computer fan to circulate air. It takes 4-5 days to do a batch, I believe you would have very dry jerky with your method. A lot of folks make biltong using cardboard boxes with dowels and a small fan.

Add a fan to the trash can smoker .

I'll probably just go ahead and build a box....
