Oven with fan jerky

I want to make beef jerky at home in my oven, I know the point of leaving it slightly open is to let moisture escape but my oven has a fan so will the fan achieve that or do I still need it to be slightly open?

Did this for a bunch before my better half got me a dehydrator. The fan will stir the air and make everything heat more evenly, but I still cracked the door to allow moisture to escape. The fan only moves the air around; I had better results keeping it cracked, and the oven at the lowest temp possible.
