Can I do it in the oven? I dreamt about making my own beef jerky

suboptimal result.

 
It can be but costs a lot to run, be you gas or electric.

That's very close to mine.  Lots of them in that price range.  We
got ours before we got married and still running strong. 
That might pay
for itself by the second run when compared to gas/electric to do it
in the oven.

 
Yes, given that electricity prices is badly mismanaged europe, I
imagine that any potential beef jerky would be more valuable than
gold! Maybe I should consider buying one of those things? The thought
is tempting even though I usually do not like amassing a lot of
kitchen machines, hence the skepticism.

Look about at local versions?  Probably cheaper.

Hmm, no shipping to me. I think I have to diligently search the asian
section of my local supermarket. Hmm, on the other hand, I am going to
sweden for christmas, and they do have a few really good asian food
shops! In fact, in one of them I once had black market grasshoppers
which were most definitely not legal to sell in sweden! ;)

There's the trick!   They likely sell it and for a lot less.  Jufran or
UTC brand, both largely shipped and not much difference in taste, if
any.
