Box fan beef jerky-far superior to dehydrating

You need a square box fan, 3-4 20x20x1 AC filters (the ones with ridges), cheese cloth, and some bungee straps.
I use flank steak because I've found it to be the best cut to use for this process.
I cut my steak into long, ~1/2"x1/2" strips, then marinate in a mix of dales, worchestershire sauce, soy sauce, liquid smoke and whatever else I want to flavor the jerky with.
I usually marinate it 1-2 days.
Then, you lay the box fan on it's side and lay an AC filter on the front, then lay a layer of cheesecloth down, and lay your meat strips in the grooves. You can do every groove, but I usually do every other one.
Place another layer of cheesecloth on top and lay down your next filter on top of the first one, the put another layer of cheesecloth on top of it.
Continue the same steps with your meat in the grooves, lay another layer of cheesecloth down, then put an AC filter on top.
Bungee cord it to the fan, turn the fan on high, and come back 24 hours later.
Enjoy the best beef jerky you've eaten.

Alton brown method. Sounds pretty simple. I would like to try it one day.

I've had good results using just a regular oven on the lowest temperature with a wooden spoon cracking the door open. The jerky tastes best before it is done and still a little wet.
