Default Using dehydrator to dry MEAT (for jerky)

Is it safe to use a dehydrator to dry meat for jerky? Can meat be
cured (to kill bacteria) with a salt solution only, no sugar?

Yes. Many dehydrators dry at 145+ degrees. That should be enough, used with
a cure. Note that a 'cure' can be merely a bottled marindade.
