Check out the USDA and the FDA sites for some technical information Kevin listed the USDA site above. Good luck!

If I recall the first methods for jerky used just the sun and wind to get the job done. What is really crazy is that Alton suggested (in another episode on dehydrated fruit) using a lizard lamp and a battery camping fan in the oven (which is turned off) instead of using the oven because normal ovens have too high of a low setting. The lizard lamp gives off no light and only heat. I guess it's used for pets who need the heat but still need to sleep. I've seen them at Petsmart and such but I have yet to try that method. I had a dehydrator and it broke after only a few months so someday I may get back into this. There was a Good Eats episode with Alton Brown on making jerky.
