Take a largish carton box and place a false bottom of carton about 15 cm from the bottom with a dozen ventilation holes.
Fix 2 light bulbs underneath this.
Fix a couple of steel or wood rods close to the top for hanging the Biltong.
Make some ventilation holes in the lid and close.
Switch on the light bulbs. The heat will rise to the top causing dry air to escape.
Within a few days you have your Biltong!

Turn everything every four hours overnight.
