I have actually been snacking on biltong this morning.
I made my first batch of that last year. Good stuff. Tho I cheated and used a dehydrator.

Were you able to turn the heat off in the dehydrator? If not you did not make biltong. I use my Cabella Deluxe 10 tray with the top tray turned upside down and the meat hanging from it on bent paper clips. Nice and easy no mess no fuss way to make it. First 24 I run ambient and then just set it to be 90ish for the next 3 days. Makes good biltong.
