1 wooden stake (2" diameter, 2 1/2 feet long)
Aluminum foil
25 lbs. charcoal
1 turkey
Your favorite seasonings
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.
