To the negative comment by Pecos Sam, most dehydrators don't use a lot
of heat.

I'd pick a warm spot near a sunny window, but the key thing is to keep
it going until full preservation is achieved and then really be
meticulous to store in parchment paper instead of a ziplock bag.

I've had some jerky go rancid from the lack of air before.
