I read somewhere that when you hang the meat out to dry, you can put it in some sort of cloth so that flys and other things can't get to it. Do you know what cloth it would be? Cheese cloth?

some use cheese cloth, but if you go to a butcher shop they will sell you cloth bags, you could invest in a food dehydrator, or use your oven set the temperature to 150 and leave the door open a little

Cheese cloth would work fine for that, however I do not suggest hanging the meat out to dry. It would have about the same effect as 3 day old road kill. Get a dehydrator or dry out the meat in your oven.

Alton Brown from the show on Food Nework, Good Eats actually made beef jerky on his show one episode. He actually used the cheap paper filters that you would buy for your furnace, and put the jerky in between two of them. He then took this and wrapped it around an old fan so that the air would blow through this filter and the jerky....speeding the process up substantially. After about 8 hours, harvest the jerky and dispose of the filters...total investment about $2
Unless this is a one time thing, I am with the others...spend $15 and get a dehydrator.

Cheese cloth or you can use a "clean" old bed sheet.
