Drawing a blank here. Kebob skewers is the best I can come up with.

'Bout to make some jerky, but I'm two racks short, and can't run off to the store just now.

What do I dooooo?
 
use the racks you have and make a smaller batch...

tin foil?

It's already tin foil on cookie sheets. Or rather, tin foil cookie sheets. But I was thinking, what if I overlap the sheets? Criss-crossing... air should still be able to get in just fine I think. Like:

?

It's either that or run down to the corner store for a shitlot of clothespins.

Haha, thanks. :D

I actually ended up building a suspension bridge out of copper wire and some sawed-off kebob skewers in the space vertically between the two racks placed so that the planes of both the racks and the bridge were, once again vertically, equidistant from eachother as well as the bottom and top of the oven.

Probably would have been faster to just go to the store, but I had fun.
 
Most every home in America that has a real cook (not a TV dinner family) has cooling racks used for cookies and such. Wad up some tin foil to make even size balls and use them as spacers between the cooling racks.

Another method I used once was to take some string and a needle and run the threads throught one end of the meat and ties the ends under the top rack of the oven. The meat will hang vertically and you can get a lot of meat hanging and still have better airflow than cookie sheets.

Ooooh, that's a very good one, thank you! I'm sure I've got a needle and thread somewhere... in my camping stuff, probably.

I will do that next time, as I definitely want them hung. :)
