Can I use a plastic trash can??
KFC would be alot easier
We used to cook turkeys under a can. A lot of work. I could not get the spike in the ground onetime so made a stand. Catching the drippings for gravy was always a trick too.Yes, we over did the bird a bit this time, but the burned part was only on the outside!We now just smoke them in the smoker!I think you figure about 15-20 minutes under the can a pound....need to double check this.And yes, you do use a bag or two of charcoal.
its hard to tell in the pic, but it doesn't look like the galvanization has been burnt of the can. The fumes from the zinc are pretty poisonous if i remember right.
Get yourself one of the Orion cookers and you will not have a problem. I have done several turkeys on the ice this way as well as about 100 racks of ribs. This thing works great and it has legs so it will not burn through the ice.
Mmmmmmm Trash Can Turkey.Mainedog....a little trick for ya......Use a Bundt cake pan to catch the drippings. Its got a hole in it so the stake can go through it.We do these in scouts all the time....amazingly tender turkey
