Pound stake into ground. Line ground with foil
to extend 10" beyond
diameter of trash can. Place turkey on stake so
it is hanging 2" off
the ground (legs pointing down). Rub seasoning
into skin as desired.
Place trash can upside down over turkey.
Start 20 lbs. of charcoal on fire around outside
of can and also one
layer on top of inverted can. This creates a natural
convection oven
which will reach a VERY high temperature. Allow
about 5 minutes per
pound when cooking turkey, or when internal temperature
is at least
180F.
Add more charcoal as needed to top and/or bottom
to maintain
a constant heat source throughout the cooking period.
